General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

That's not an in-room/microphone plot. It is the pure digital data on a DAW.

So then it becomes, the playback tape deck and the ADC used in remastering were not good enough.

Whereas in truth, the gear at the session in 1956 was probably, RCA ribbon mics, a three-channel mixer derived from radio broadcast gear, a very early mono tape recorder, and tape stock from before the tape-formulation revolution of the mid-1960s.

A cynical friend says, that recording sounds so good because it does not excite the resonances usually found in dome and inverted-dome tweeters.

An inexpensive DAW program (I have a Mac so I can use the Mac-only package Amadeus Pro) can be a great educational tool.
