Another A/B test, with the same piece used for the first one (it progressively fills the spectrum, so it works well for this kind of thigs. Which is the file you do prefer and why? Try copy/pasting the links if they do not work:

Dear all, if you have a few minutes, I would love to have your feedback on the A/B #test on the previous toot (varenna_1 vs varenna_2). I've read about the "pumping" noise artifact of the dbx, and I'd like to know if you are able to listen it in the example. #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77 #dbx #dbx150x #noise

Let's try another A/B test, using Varenna Suite, this time:

Which one do you think is the original and which one has been recorded through the #RevoxB77 at 15ips + #dbx150x #noise reduction? #AnalogAudio

It would help me if you try to do the A/B listening test proposed in the previous toot in this thread. I've heard many negative things about the #dbx #noise reduction, but I suspect most of them refer to type II and cassettes (here we deal with type I and #reel2reel). I'm very interested to learn if someone is able to listen to some artifacts or not. By the way, I inspected the inside of the #dbx150x unit I got and it is a nice sandwich construction. 😍 #AnalogAudio
I received the #dbx150x type I #noise reduction system. I had to import it from USA as I couldn’t find one in Europe at a decent price. I tried recording some tracks with it on the #RevoxB77 and I couldn’t distinguish them from the originals. It is clearly the best analog audio quality I have ever listened to 😍 I didn’t notice any “pumping” artefact some people complain about dealing with #dbx. It’s incredible. #AnalogAudio
