I've been using Ozone Advanced since v.2 and Nectar since v.1. Because of Izotope's bundling, I have licenses for the Basic and Elements packages also. Ozone Standard is very good.

I use the plugins but otherwise do not use a dedicated mastering tool — except for CDs where I use DSP-Quattro to ensure Red Book compatibility.

I still have the reverb, compressor and EQ units that I used to master to vinyl in the 1970s. They're in the Basement where Analog Goes to Die along with my tape machines.
