Precision Audio Restoration

Short version: This guy knows what he’s doing.
Long version: One of the first records I ever listened to, as a very small child, was released the same year I was born. It’s bizarre and cheesy, but it’s thoughtful, surprisingly durable cheese. My sister now has two little girls, one of whom is learning to play the violin and just lately has been working on a piece that also happens to be one of the tracks on this record, but there’s no turntable in the house, so when this record drifted back up to the top of my mountain of Stuff, I moused around and found the linked audio restoration outfit in Seattle.
I took him the record. He said 1 – 2 weeks, but then a few days later sent email saying my project was done. He offered my choice of numerous output file formats and storage media types. These tracks sound just fantastic! Best I’ve ever heard ‘em, easily. No skips, no scratches, no gaps or dropouts, no rumble, no hiss, no hum, no missing instruments or frequencies.
When I dropped off and picked up, he told me with genuine passion about his process and equipment. Much of what he said exceeded my knowledge level, but it’s clear he wasn’t bluffing: when I initially listened in iTunes, they seemed to sound OK but ineffably muddy. I opened up the EQ to find the sliders in an odd configuration (I must have put them there for a reason, but I’m sure I don’t know what it was). I killed the EQ and immediately the sound was perfect. Tried an assortment of other EQ settings and presets… nope, they sound best without being futzed with; I think this means they were done just right.
I’ve already sent him my next project (a couple of cassettes of my grandfather telling stories 20 years ago, made on a cheap handheld cassette recorder held too far away).
