For the 2xHD transfer of this recording, the original 1/4”, 15 ips CCIR master tape was played on a Nagra-T modified with high-end tube playback electronics, wired with OCC silver cable from the playback head direct to a Telefunken EF806 tube. The Nagra T has one of the best transports ever made with four direct drive motors, two pinch rollers and a tape tension head. We did an analog transfer for each high-res sampling and A & B comparisons were made with the original LP, using the KRONOS turntable with a BLACK BEAUTY tone arm.192kHz was done using Ayre QA9proDSD was done using dCS 905 and dCS Vivaldi clockDXD 352.8kHz was done using dCS 905 and dCS Vivaldi clockDSD2 was done using Ayre QA9pro
