I recall seeing a reel to reel enthusiast that when asked what he puts onto tape his answer was CDs
because once put onto tape they sound better.

Why do you keep spouting this [ADMIN REMOVED], in this case you have no idea who the person is or what the record playback chain is. The only reason people ever tried DBx as a N/R system was it was cheaper than Dolby A or the technically superior Dolby SR. As for helping SQ on CD playback, this is just [ADMIN REMOVED].

Because its true, applying to Type 1 DBX and Dolby A, and it works in the case of Type 1 to improve CD playback as well
If you give it a go, you will then appreciate what I am saying,
Stereo Separation and bass reproduction in particular, but a far more analog presentation to CD is its benefit,
Cheers / Chris

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yes, you can argue a point perfectly well, without resorting to the use of such confrontational language.
