Oh I know 1/4" tape could give excellent results. Sadly, too many
worried about the cost of tape so used slow speeds - and 1/4 track. And

High speed REVOX full track what else, and IIRC a couple of Neumann's or
AKG Capacitors in a simple crossed pair...

Full track Revox? Never seen one of those...;-)

Snag is quite a lot of the stuff I've had to transfer has been recorded
using the supplied mic with the recorder. Usually crystal or cheap moving
coil. Level set on a magic eye. You get the picture?
