Dead Wax runout length on Remastered LP's
I have a habit when buying remastered LP's to compare the sound quality to an early original pressing if I have one but I also sometimes look at the length of the dead wax runout area at the end of each side if it is noticible. I recently purchased a 2021 remastered Rhino copy of Genesis' A Trick of The Tail and compared it to my old ATCO copy from 1976. I will say the sound quality of the new pressing is pretty good but I noticed the dead wax on side one of the Rhino copy is about 1-1/2" long while the original ATCO copy is less than 1/2".
I am assuming this has to do with the width of the grooves or possibly the distance between each groove during the cutting process or possibly something else.
My question for the discussion is if this has any affect on the quality of the pressing. It appears the groove area is compressed but can or does this actually degrade the potential quality of the sound?
