>but vinyl and CD differences have nothing to do with it The kind of do. With vinyl if you master like this you're making the grooves (the paths where the needle runs in) more pronounced, meaning less space for music (which is a premium in CDs compared to streaming, and even more so to vinyl compared to CDs: many vinyl "double albums" could have beeen a single CD). And it can make the needle jump around or have issues too. So vinyl kind of forces you to master with actual dynamics, as opposed to squashing everything.
