Looking at the audio on a spectrum analyzer shows the audio to drop off exactly at 10,000 cycles, somewhat short of the range of 15,000 to 20,000 cycles needed for true hi-fi in the treble end. The video caption claims 18,000 cycles. :P
Hmm, how odd. All I went on for that is what my friend said - I haven't the technology to do that myself. Perhaps youtube does something to it?
Yes, possibly could be. I wasn't trying to be harsh or accusatory. :) It's an excellent sounding transfer in any case, and you have a very nice channel going there.

Sorry, my mistake - it's so easy to confuse meanings without the context (i.e I can't see your face when you tell me this). This is probably the single largest cause of online arguments.

But thanks for the channel compliments!
