My guess is that it might be something that inadvertently happened in your 
machine.
I have noticed that recording french horns can be very perplexing.  Slight 
phase shifts are very noticeable (one of the players moves a little too 
much....Yes, I'm serious). Things are more noticeable on such a pure tone to 
my ear, so if there was something in the recording, I would have imagined 
Rick or Streetly would have caught it.  I definately have noticed my tapes 
changing in timbre over these last three and a half years. Not a bad change, 
just changing.
