The vinyl method probably still is the truest reproduction of sound. Many
things that go thru conversions may no longer be very close to being true
reproductions.

The advent of digital is probably more advantageous from an editing
standpoint. I consider the phrase "digitally remastered" to indicate that
the sound (or picture) is someone's own impression of how they think it
sounds best, but an adulterated version of the original.
In most cases, the listeners have never heard the original performance, so
they wouldn't know anyway.

Hey, what was that? A spare drumstick fell and hit something. Delete it.
Done.
History erased.

The wax recordings were the early Edison machines, a revolving tube coated

Nope, flat disks - just like direct to vinyl (which before digital
was considered the truest "master"
