By definition, any original analog master tape is irreplaceable.
Surviving legacy masters are priceless cultural artifacts deserving expert care, as many suffer from chemical degradations that render them vulnerable to damage or even destruction from a single playback on a studio tape recorder.
What’s clearly needed is specialized hardware.
ATAE has been developing playback-only analog tape machines (called reproducers) precision engineered for this purpose since 1987.
