And yes, it is pretty well exactly as one would expect if you are reasonably familiar with, and have done a fair bit of, sound recording.
A top quality reel-to-reel tape recorder is capable of around 12-bit record/replay, though a touch of overload has a euphonic sound on tape and is horrid on digital.
LPs are capable of about 11 to 12 bit replay too.
Digital potential max and min frequency and dynamic range are fixed by the maths.
Tape varies a bit from tape to tape and from machine to machine.
Record players vary a l-o-t.
