I've heard good analogue tapes (two of the 50s and 60s original Mercury
master tapes, for example) but never in a home audio setting. I'd like
to try to borrow a good Revox or similar and hear an excellent analogue
master tape and see if I perceive the timbre issue to be similar to LP.
That would help to determine if what I like about LP sound is due to
colorations inherent to LPs.

Well assuming you could get the appropriate and calibrated Dolby A setup, I
think you'd be blown away by how analogue tape takes that "LP sound" and
raises it to six no-trump.

It would be an interesting comparison, to be sure. I think that our
studio might have a good machine, and knowing our RE, it would still be
in fine shape and if not calibrated well, he would do it for me. Hmmmm..

A 15 ips Dolby A master will blow your socks off.

LP doesn't even remotely come close to reproducing it adequately.
