Good day
I HAD READ that when playing lp, betwen the songs is that dark silence, that you dont hear anything and when usic plays is like a concert, and that the dbx vinyl was thicker and with better quality than todays vinyl disc. It sound amazing, is sad that there is not dbx in currents amps, i would like to hear music with that deep "black" silence stuff *good*
It had a 120 db dinamic, i guess same as cd but it was before the cd era, maybe the cd "people" get inspiration by this dbx 120 db.
some info etc:
"The original dbx Type I and Type II systems were based on so-called "linear decibel companding" - compressing the signal on recording and expanding it on playback. It was invented by David E. Blackmer of dbx, Inc. in 1971. "dbx" is a process of eliminating surface noise for optimum audio enjoyment "dbx" was used on vinyl records and a few selected cassette tapes from 1973 until around 1982.
Although it brought extraordinary dynamic range to the lowly cassette tape and vinyl records, dbx noise reduction did not achieve widespread popularity in the consumer marketplace, as compressed recordings did not sound acceptable when played back on non-dbx equipment; Dolby B was already widely used when dbx was introduced. Although Dolby noise reduction also used some companding, the level of compression and expansion was very mild, so that the sound of Dolby-encoded tapes was acceptable to consumers when played back on non-Dolby equipment.
Over 1100 albums were released with "dbx" encoding, which were known as "dbx discs". When employed on LP's, the "dbx Type-II" system reduced the audibility of dust and scratches, reducing them to tiny pops and clicks (if they were audible at all) and also completely eliminated record surface noise. "dbx" encoded LP's had, in theory, a dynamic range of up to 120db.[3] In addition. All "dbx" LPs were produced from only the original master tapes, with no copies being used, and pressed only on heavy, virgin vinyl. Released in limited quantities with premium pricing."
