Digitally remastered vinyl?


I've noticed a quite a few jazz titles on vinyl which claim to be "digitally remastered", as if that is something good. These titles usually came out in the early eighties. As a vinyl nut, would I really want an LP where the music went through an A to D and then D to A conversion using eighties technology? Were the pro's using 24/96 or better back then? How do these remasters sound?

I've thought of this a lot. Especially all the studio-grade cabling and connectors the signal goes through, in addition to all the circuitry. The ABKO releases of the early Stones proved this.

It all adds up to vinyl for vinyls sake, and it isn't worth it. I'd *much rather search out a used original, for the most part.
