RE: AFAIK copying an analog tape to digital is a transfer, not remastering.

However the production of a vinyl cut ALWAYS involves some sonic change to the master - mainly in the HF region

Just to be sure I understand what you're saying -- production of a vinyl cut always involves some sonic change to the COPY of the master, not to the actual master tape, correct? The master tape is sacrosanct, it is what the entire team worked hard on until they agreed that it sounds perfect (or as close as perfect) to how they envision it should sound. No one should be messing with that tape.

I do realize that it is nearly impossible to replicate the sound of the master tape when cutting vinyl. However, that's the INTENTION of the crew cutting the vinyl. The final commercial product should sound as close as possible to how its authors prefer it to sound. Otherwise, if that were immaterial, why would the team ever even bother mastering it?
