of tape.....
The recording that leaves the recording studio is the final mix. It sounded one way on the 2 channel mix-down, reel-to-reel deck played through the speaker system in the recording studio. Then it was given to the manufacturing plant and MORE EQ was added, as well as compression, and noise gates and limiters, as well as the level setting. This is applied as the lathe is cutting the lacquers.
So a recording could very well have been improved from the recording studio to the mastering plant: this is just with vinyl.
Then, depending on WHAT "masters" or final mix-down tapes the people who built the DSD files from had, - they could have applied similar limiters, EQ, gates, etc. when the computer constructed the DSD computer files.
Likely, if Mobile Fidelity is using a certain playback system to listen to the new DSD mixes, they MAY decide to "warm it up."
