Am I the only one, who finds the second sample has the more natural sounding equalization?
The noise can be improved, but the third one sounds somewhat off, with too much hum in the lower frequencies.
Sound quite tricky to figure out a true neutral curve.

"But the input circuit would have to be designed to take the exact level and impedance that was generated by the original head, and there would have to be a recalculation of what the original equalization curve of wire recording was. It probably would not work with a stock amplifier--Theoretically it would be best to rebuild a new amplifier to get the lowest noise specs, but if you only have a small number of wires to dub then it would be an expensive exercise for just a few items. With dozens or hundreds of wires it might be worthwhile. The old amps from those machines were very noisy, and are much worse now that their parts have aged so much."
Doing this purely digitally might of cause be easier these days.
