Dallas Hinton - Anton Shepelev:

> AS> disks do not deteriorate over time (but because of wear) and
> AS> usually contain a more direct and transparent presentation of
> AS> the sound that was heard in the studio, because tapes were
> AS> often heavily abused during mastering and mixing.
>
> Quite correct, although it was possible (and done!) to abuse the
> recording process long before it got to disk!
