At a recent presentation of remastered vinyl in London the mastering engineers remarked that the reproduction seemed somewhat less transparent than the final mix in the studio.

 

One of the guests mentioned that he brought his FM 122 MKII Phono Linearizer and suggested to swap it with the installed phono preamp.

There were no big expectations but the preamps were exchanged anyway.
