Source: The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono recording.  The reel was played

on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and 

built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components

including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR 

electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 

by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the 

recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  

Post processing and was done by David Avery with Nuendo using the 

following Waves Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Shuffler and L3.  The file was dithered

down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
