From the Tacet website

""Tube Only" means: only tube microphones and amplifiers were used for the recording. For transfer to a digital disc (CD, DVD or SACD) a connection to an A/D- or a DSD transformer must be activated. For the LP, however, (except for rare exceptions, justified for musical reasons) the signal is even stored on a tube tape recorder and then mastered with valve equipment, so that one would be right in saying that for the entire production not a single transistor was used."

So maybe that was the "rare exception?"

Also, it is not uncommon for modern analog recordings to have a hi res digital recording made off of the same mic feeds. Why not?
