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.

Agreed. The only thing better is CD.

CD can't *improve* on an analogue master.

Early CDs were often dreadful due to technical limitations of the
then-available equipment and methods used.
