The 2xHD Mastering Process

For the 2xHD mastering of the recording on this album, the original 1/4", 15 ips CCIR master tapes were 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, and two pinch rollers.

DXD 352 8kHz was done using MSB Platinum Studio ADC plus.
