That's a different matter. The actual making of vinyl - after the
studio part - had a vast influence on the quality. Assuming a level

I'd presume a 'super disc' started with a super recording. Of course,
the comparisons of masterings found in places like the Steve Hoffman
forum include speculation of whether the master tapes were actually used
or not.

In analogue days, the very best sounding vinyl was straight to disc. Once
digital recording arrived, some who specialised in direct to disc used
that - with some relief, I'd guess. ;-)
