Even if it says mastered from the the original master tapes? And kept in the analog domain?
Sadly not necessarily!
Another complicating factor that I was reminded of by a conversation with Chad on Monday.
Is the mastering engineer using a digital delay line to space the grooves? Then the LP isn't analog. (See Ultratape thread for a picture of Chad's specially built Ampex ATR-102 machine.)
We know Chad's reissues are the real deal. I assume Bernie Grundman's cuts are pure analog. MOFI? But how many others are?
I attached an article from Mikey outlining the issue too!
