Your title is why does vinyl sound better, yet you compared 2 CDs, and didn't address the question at all.

If studio personnel screwed up the video of movies, the way they screw up the audio in music, the public would be in an uproar, demanding refunds.

But for music, no matter how utterly and incompetently the studio personnel screw up our music, there is no refund for purchased music. You roll the dice, pay for it, and cross your fingers that just maybe the studio personnel got it right.

LOUDNESS is bad. It wrecks dynamics. It destroys realism. And the studio personnel enjoy LOUDNESS more than their adult movies. Not all of them. But far too many of them are incompetent.

If there is an equalizer in their studio, they use it.
If there is a compressor in their studio, they use it.
If there is a reverb machine in their studio, they use it.
If there is a double-voicing machine in their studio, they use it.

If they have a box, they use it. And all of the above churns out havoc on the once amazingly great sounding initial capture tapes (or digital equivalent) -- multi-track masters.

All of the above boxes have a purpose, and should be used sparingly. It should be the exception. But the studio personnel make it the rule.

I have yet to meet anyone that, when presented with a non compressed (or minimally compressed) release vs a compressed release, chooses the latter. Virtually no one ever does. And yet the studio personnel are obsessed with compression. They vandalize sonic works of art, by wildly talented musical artists that put their lives into their music -- only to have it compressed to crap by some doofus at the controls in the studio. The world is denied hearing how wonderful the artists really sound, because the studio personnel decided that we should hear their equipment (their equipment counts more than the artists).
