Talking about 'what we survived' regarding tape. I remember reading a
remark 30 or 40 years ago that even with studio recordings, the IM
distortion products could reach as high as 30% on peaks. It really is

Best thing to show up tape at its worst is a belltree. No matter what
level you record it at, it never sounds the same as the send. ;-)
