Some years ago, most LPs were mastered on 1/4" tape - and perhaps another
generation of multitrack before that. So the main degradation to the
'studio' signal that tape introduces had already occurred.

If you transfer a direct cut or digitally mastered LP to 1/4", you're
likely to hear the difference more readily.
