Analog vs. Digital Mastering

As a mastering engineer who operates strictly with the guidance of accurate spectrum analysis instrumentation, I have discovered that many records that were produced and entirely mastered with analog equipment, showed much to my surprise, several harmonic imbalances.

Some of these records came even from major record companies.

What benefits can there possibly be with pure analog mastering, if the sound delivery is less than perfect?

Are we forgetting that today's music is heard mainly through mp3 players?

That's the reason why digital mastering with its precision and its ability to make cheap speaker systems, shine with clear sound and deep bass, will make analog mastering a thing of the past.


Analog equipment, however, can be great to add a little "fuzz" to an otherwise "sterile digital sound".
