Yes Luis, I agree. "Magic" is a good way of putting it. Of course 3dB (or a
bit more if compression is being used) isn't huge but as you said it's for
free. With no distortion or other disadvantages. I recommend to my users to
leave it switched on all the time, there is no point having it switched
off! There's no benefit when using Digi modes like VARA but still no harm
in having CESSB switched on.
