It would be interesting to compare. HDTT does use consumer tapes, but almost always they are 2 track tapes. In this case, there is no 2 track commercial issue. The page says that it is done from a 15 ips 2 track tape, so it can't be a consumer tape in any case. You'd love to think that it was an actual 1st generation safety copy from Everest that he got to use on condition of keeping quiet about it, but who knows? It wouldn't surprise me if it were from one of the Russian (or other) "Safety Copy" tapes that are floating around these days (which I have a few of, and FWIW, can be damned good!).
