dbx with turntable is a common application.

You need to adjust the threshold properly and not apply too much expansion. Adjust the levels properly and the results should be very positive, adding more lifelike dynamic impact and attack to the recording rather than hindering it.
Thanks for your comments and yes, adjustments are critical. Do you think the use of this device is quite normal or not in the vinyl community?
Use with vinyl is normal for those who use dbx range expanders but most vinyl lovers do not own one (they are not even made anymore) so it cannot be considered normal with vinyl lovers overall.
