I think you are right! That was meant to read "5 to 7 Ips". There was originally a hyphen between the numbers that I suspect was stripped by the Listserv because it is still there in the Word document I used to compose the message. But hey, 57 Ips ain't so bad. You just have to carefully calculate the EQ time constants. ;-) Cheers!
