Aren't single bit A/Ds used on those things? If so, doesn't the
sample rate have to be much higher than the Nyquist rate? I would
think the quantization noise is more fundamental than sample rate. Are
you using pulse or impulse sampling? How do you reduce the Gibbs
Phenomena interleave in the audible pat of the spectrum?

I found a Pioneer RT-707 really nice reel-to-reel tape recorder in a thrift
shop for $10 because it didn't play. The bearings in the capstan pressure
rollers were frozen. It's in my stereo rack, now. Another time, someone
donated boxes full of reel-to-reel tapes, lots of pre-recorded ones from
RCA Red Label and very high quality 7.5 ips.

I don't see any difference between these tapes and the original CDs on the
same system. The Pioneer's noise is -80 db below the music after I demag'd
the 4 heads. Montovani and the Boston Symphony are MOST impressive...(c;
