As I suspected, this story seems to be an urban legend (at least based on my
tests). I used your file LoHorn.wav and recorded it digitally on my Sharp
MD-R2, then digitally on my Sharp 702, and finally analog through the line
in on my Sharp 702. There was absolutely no distortion whatsoever in the
recording. All the wave forms are perfectly normal and the copies sound just
like the original (hiss and all). I would be happy to provide the wav file
to anyone that would like a copy of it. I suspect that the person who
originally experienced this problem had a bad cable or some other
mechanical/electronic problem.

I still have it available on my site along with a pic of the waveform:
The original file: www.ozemail.com.au/~atrac/LoHorn.wav
The same file recorded on a 722: www.ozemail.com.au/~atrac/Horn722.wav
