Dbx Noise Reduction Cards

[Moonlightm]

I HAVE THIS RATHER ANCIENT TEAC/TASCAM 85 1" 16 TRK(MODEL85-16).THE NOISE REDUCTION IS DBX BASED. I STILL USE THE OLD BEAST FROM TIME TO TIME AND I REALLY LIKE DBX NR! I KNOW IT USED A BAD RAP BUT I QUITE LIKE THE EFFECT IT HAS ON LOW FREQ. TRANSIENTS.SOUGHT OF "PUMPY"(MY ADATS ARN'T SO PERVERSE) ANYWAY THOSE DBX CARDS OVER THE YEARS ARE SLOWLY DROPPING OUT.THERE SEEMS TO BE 2 MAIN CHIPS ON THE CARD THAT ARE(ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL TASCAM AGENT)NO LONGER AVAILABLE. DOES ANYONE KNOW A SOURCE WHERE THESE CHIPS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE(BA651 & BA652) ANY HINTS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. CHEERS JC
