exactly - even the tracks made with all analgue synths and drum machines are generally mastered to DAT, which is if i remember right 16 bit 44khz, same as CD. then again, maybe those people who make vinyl masters know some sort of magic that "un-quantizes" your digital recording? yeah, that must be it. cause, y'know, vinyl is better. i hate technology, that's why i play "techno!"
