I have dolby A and SR just in case. I have DBX too, but usually they're just taking up rack space.

I'm in the same boat with my Otari MX-5050Bii and my Ampex 440b/c. Plenty of noise reduction available, never used them outside of testing.

Some guys are running this tape at 185nWb/m at 30 ips.

Well that would give about 26dB of headroom before reaching 3% THD on most machines. Perhaps they're using on machines that don't have sufficient headroom to run at 400nWb/M or higher. A lot of people are avoiding RMGI because of shedding/slitting problems so perhaps they're just using ATR at a lower fluxivity. 185 does seem rediculously low though. I'd think 250 would be more common even for very old machines, except perhaps maybe 300 series Ampex.
