Clearly you have NOT heard master tapes, 300B driven acetates and premastering CDR burned from the raw master 2-channel mix tape.
The acetates and raw CDRs I have are private gifts from a mastering engineer...in addition to receiving album credits for my technical support.

I was only addressing the LP!

Actually I did address one point on tapes. Tapes are analog and have their own built in distortions.
It has been said that one reason studios like the tapes is that they distortion cleaned up a lot of the ‘noise from the mics and amps because they weren’t able to accurately reproduce those signals.
Now studios have better mics and amps and are learning how to master the more accurate digital signals.
There is no question that digital is more accurate.
