It wasn't DNS but DNL for Dynamic Noise Limiting - it was single ended
(didn't do anyhting during recording) and didn't work that well
(according to my ears). You could use it with Dolby and get a further
improvement to signal to noise ratio and one or two cassetted decs
allowed this - it didn't catch on so I assume that my impression was not
untypical.

Thanks. I couldn't recall the precise term. Too long ago! :-)

I never heard it in practice. It had essentially vanished before I got
around to buying a cassette deck. But I'm not amazed it didn't catch on.
