Really? I'd like to see a quote from one of the "mastering engineers in
charge of mastering for Linn records." But even if they do so they do
not speak for everyone.

Nor do those you quoted. Note that they are 'audiophile' mastering
engineers, not producing general commercial vinyl.

You claimed the *only* exception was the MoFis.
You are simply wrong.

Actually, I didn't claim any such thing. Sheffield Labs and other
direct-cut vinyl likely had the flattest possible cuts, but half-speed
mastering is an obvious way to avoid cutter problems.

Are you suggesting that Linn vinyl is not
state of the art?

I would go much further than that. I have bought not one, not two, not
three but four sonic disasters from the Linn catlog. I'd say they
aren't even on the track in the race for SOTA.

Oh dear - you're in trouble now......... :-)

Furthermore, are you aware of *any* vinyl (aside
from the old subcarrier quad stuff!) which has any musical content
above 20kHz?

Your question is irrelevant to the fact that your post about roll off
on all records above 12-15 kHz is flattly false.

Lack of response noted.
