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

"Better" is a matter of opinion.

It's not like the goal of a recording engineer or mastering engineer is to make it sound real.

They are going for "cool", not real.

R to R tape is great but the sound from the master tape is messed with (mastered) just like anything else. You will not get a direct copy from the major labels.

There was one company in New York, years ago, that made direct, un-mastered copies from the master tape of known albums. They were made them at normal speed. That is, they weren't high speed dups (like cassettes).

Those were very expensive to buy.

Now days we have The Tape Project.
