Description: You need the DBX 224x to decode any DBX-encoded vinyl playing on your turntable. If you are into vintage vinyl, you know that the DBX-encoded vinyl is coveted, and desirable, and sound excellent over typical vintage vinyl..., think of it as "early MoFi..." I'm pricing this to move quickly - compared to other sold listings, this is nearly half at Buy It Now. No Manual included. The Service Manual is available on TapeHeads website, and the user manual is available on HiFiEngine website. Use google to find them. This is a cool unit, and I have two, keeping the other one to play my DBX-encoded vinyl. Description found online (use google):"The DBX model 224 has two channels of encode and two channels of decode processing, and is thus capable of simultaneous recording and off-tape monitoring of a stereo program. This DBX Type II system provides in excess of 30 dB broadband tape noise reduction with a simultaneous 10 dB improvement in headroom in the tape recording process.The unit also may be used to decode special DBX encoded phonograph discs. These discs, available through leading hi-fi and record dealers, are up to 40 dB quieter than a conventional disc, and provide tremendous musical dynamic range.The 224's DBX disc decoding circuitry is not designed to reduce noise on conventional phonograph records. Neither can the 224's DBX tape noise reduction circuits reduce hiss on a tape which has already been recorded without the corresponding DBX processing during the recording process.Alone, the DBX 224 will dramatically improve the quality of your live tape recordings, and will preserve the quality when you are copying previously recorded programs. When used properly, the tape noise reduction makes an extremely valuable addition to your sound system and to your listening enjoyment." SHIPPING: I charge for shipping and packing. When I buy vintage electronics on Ebay, I expect the seller to put great effort into packing in addition to shipping delicate vintage electronics. Likewise, I do the same for you. I spend a significant amount of time packing in suitable material, typically 2 hours, to ensure the item you buy will arrive in the condition you see it in the photos of this listing. Charging for time and materials for that assurance is reasonable to expect. Shipping to lower-48 states only. BEFORE YOU BUY, READ CAREFULLY:Buyer accepts all responsibility to download the online manual, read and understand how to configure and hook-up this unit. If Buyer damages this unit due to faulty connections, or not knowing what they are doing, it can be damaged, and the unit is not warranted for user error or for any other reason. Selling AS IS. No Warranty is expressed or implied. NO Returns or refunds for any reason. Why? Because I cannot assess your skill level in understanding vintage audio, connections, etc., and there is too much fraud going on Ebay, where buyers buy something, damage it due to user error, or worse, rape the unit for parts, then try to return it for a refund. Like all Vintage Audio, this item is offered to you in AS IS Condition - if you are looking at DBX equipment, you know at least two things: 1) that DBX is no longer in business, and b) vintage audio may require service. I'm selling this unit AS IS, to fulfil your interests in using it for it's design and intent. It is vintage, as in, years old, and may in the future require service. I am selling this to you, and you accept responsibility for servicing and maintaining it.
