DBX was not so common in the UK as the USA so please excuse my question if it appears stupid. I have acquired some DBX vinyl albums that I would like to commit to 15 i.p.s. tape after standard RIAA correction. Do I :-
1) Do a direct DBX encoded disc to tape then use DBX decode when playing the Tape? or
2) Do a decode of the DBX disc then re-encode onto tape as suggested in the DBX Manual I have?
It seems strange to me to de-code and then re-encode to tape but perhaps there is a reason why a direct encoded DBX vinyl cannot be transferred to tape before de-coding?

No reason, and there will be less noise decoding during playback, than otherwise.
The deck must be properly calibrated, of course.

Thanks Rayma, I did as you suggested using my last reel of BASF LX35 and it sounds pretty good to me. Deck by the way is a Teac A3440 which I always use at 15 i.p.s.

That will work kind of like Dolby A, but without all the filtering and extra processing.
