Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Restoration software

There are a lot of these. (I have only used Spark XL on Mac and I'm happy with it.) If there is a demo version, you should try them all first. Here are the ones I would evaluate for the PC, money no object, when I set up a PC DAW:

Real pro stuff:
http://www.cedar-audio.com/ ($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.sonicstudio.com/nn/($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.weiss.ch/dna1/dna1.html($$$$, so probably not an option)
http://www.samplitude.com/de/v8_algor_ov.htm#renovator($$$$, so probably not an option, but if you have Sequoia it may be)

More affordable stuff:
http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/main.html
http://www.jdklein.com/clickfix/index.htm (works with Audition only)
http://www.virtos-audio.com/
http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/Products/ShowProduct.asp?PID=14

Obviously, the last few are much cheaper and may do the job for you. This list is based on reading about noise reduction and narrowing down the list for the ones most likely to succeed for this tricky job. I also read that Audition/Cool Edit Pro was more effective than the Waves Restoration Suite, so high dollars does not always get you better sound. Like I said, try them out first if you can.

I hope you can get the results you want!
