Show me one major label release that is a straight copy of the master tape/file.I dare you. Whatever you find will be the exception to the rule, not the rule.
On the other hand one cannot pass audio signal through an active device without changing it.
You have stated otherwise and you are wrong.
Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean others can't hear it.
You confuse your perceptions with reality.
Any time you hear someone make such a mistake, you should be very cautious about believing anything else that person has to say.
BTW John, how many albums have you mastered? Any? Yeah, I didn't think so.
You are talking above your pay grade.

and this is just the master tapes/files (the 2 track mix that came out of the studio) that were messed with by the guys at the Mastering Lab.49 pages worth. See link below.
Look up Bob Ludwig for another long list.
Here's a webpage that you should check out and read.
"From the invention of the vinyl LP, to the dawn of the form-less mp3, music listening formats have been in constant flux. Audio mastering has transformed over time. As a result the mastering engineer's role has also largely evolved. Morphing from technical specialist to a much more broad and influential role: the gatekeeper of great sound."

If you take the same master tape/file to any number of the mastering engineers listed for mastering you will get that same number of different sounding recordings back.
All will likely be very good sounding but none will sound exactly the same because each mastering engineer has a different idea of what "good sound" is.
What you won't get back is a straight transfer.

mastered (messed with) by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. (He did a good job)
What are you listening to John?
Who mastered it or is it a straight transfer?
All you have to do is look at the liner notes.

Mastered by Doug Sax
If Greg Calbi had mastered this recording it would come out different but I'm sure it still would have been good, just different.
