I've often heard the claim that these limitations are the reason why some older record sound better than CD. During the loudness wars CDs were so aggressively limited, all while the bass content was driven up, that these would make a needle jump out of the track. A vinyl master requires more subtle preparation, controlled bass and stereo image, less dynamic compression.

- keeglin 5y agoYour first claim I think is better stated that older CDs cut in their time from original sources sound better than similar music with modern processes. For pop, especially. I seek out early 80's - early 90's CD (with sprinklings in pop to the early 00's).
