Are you suggesting that the quote from Rane is incorrect? If so please enlighten me. Lets avoid the straw-man argument please - correct what was said, don't just discredit who said it.
Can you honestly say that Jerry Rig had his gain structure set correctly? Did I make a mistake with my 45db s/n calculation?
I'm more than willing to eat my words, but I'll need some facts please, not just a 'because I said so'.
And once again, in case you missed it the first time, I'm not suggesting that the dbx is the be all, end all. I'm just pointing out that the comparison was invalid due to the incorrect implementation.
