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.

How excellent, then, that by doing a good digital
transfer of that tape, one can capture that six no-trump
sound and protect it from degradation.

Exactly. She's really exposed herself this time. The worst thing that can
be said about CDs is that they may accurately reflect master tapes, which
the LP never could do.

Jenn has revealed that she has no clue as to what master tapes are really
all about, or how they relate to her obsession with the non-existent
realism of LPs.

She's also beginning to expose the fact that she has no idea about how
recording and reproduction are actually supposed to work.

Pure BS Arny. Jenn has said she prefers really good LP's over most CD's,
because to her ears instrumental timbres sound "more real". A lot of
audiophiles agree with her. She has said nothing about overall accuracy or
about master tapes or about recording. These are simply strawman inventions
of yours.
