Mark,

Thanks so much for the link. This is an amazing basics-of-digital-audio 
document. I never had the justification for this as I got into PC audio 
in 1999 and hadn't done much prior to that. I had worked from 1974-2004 
designing audio and video systems (except the brief dalliance into 
designing audio equipment at McCurdy in Toronto from 1981-1983). I 
started getting interested in tape preservation in 1996-1997 worrying 
about my own tapes from the 1970s and realizing at that time not many 
people cared.

I tried to fix the link which was broken when I received it.

Cheers,

Richard

Quality tape transfers -- even from hard-to-play tapes.
