The tape is a 7.5 inch per second stereo 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 with Nuendo using the following Waves
Plugins: X-Hum, Q10, C1 comp-gate, LinEQ Lowband and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
