The Cedars you mention are top-end hardware solutions, but I would argue that with even WaveLab 8 Elements and the proper plugins and skills (and enough time and patience!) it is possible by means of judicious manual restoration to surpass them in terms of the end result.
Recording the source material through any processing stage, hardware or software, means it’s irrevocably changed even before it’s captured. The reason for this is that the source media is often fragile and in some cases there may be only one opportunity to capture the material (baked tape, for example). I would concur with Arjan P, and that is also my approach – make an archival transcript (recording) first, and do the processing after the fact. Dave, it’s not so much that we’re missing the point, it’s that I don’t think any of us would approach restoration in this manner.
