Santhosh,
Recently when digital and analogue discussions were going on I was thinking of starting a thread for people who have access to master tapes and their listening experience. You are one lucky guy.
Here is pic of Nagra professional tape recorders

Please post how do master tapes sound.
Regards

Me:

This room had the best sound of the show. After going around all the rooms, trying to understand and evaluate the philosophy of each designer when you enter this room you realize, when everything falls into place the process of evaluation automatically ends.
