[78-L] Cambridge Process

[David Lennick]

And if you DO want CEDAR Cambridge, Graham Newton and I have been producing 
transfers and reissues using this system for quite a few years now, for Naxos 
and other labels. We're in Toronto.

You should look for the best-sounding restoration rather than a particular technical method to achieve it - especially with not-quite-mint originals there are many defects (like loud thumps, intermittent swish, blasting worn spots, wow from warped/off-center pressings) where Cedar's real-time-processing is stumped, but which can be effectively remedied with other software-based methods in the hands of a dedicated restorer.
