Hi Richard:

I don't even know if this is possible, but did you ever try "de-NAB'ing" that CD and then AME'ing 
it? Could you do that in Samplitude? I'd think you might want to make an analog transfer, 24-bits, 
at a relatively low peak level. Then reverse-NAB it. Then AME it, then normalize for peak value. 
Result better or worse?
