The original had most of the signal above 2kHz or so almost gone, so
this had to be boosted. Tape hiss gets amplified in the same way (this
was a _casette_ recording). It's probably possible to remove some of
the hiss using an FFT-based multiband expander.

Second order shelf filter, +12 dB or so at 4 kHz and above. There were
some faint traces of signal around 8 kHz, so a very narrow band around
that frequency was boosted a few dB more.
