I owe this next part to my brilliant friend Greg Reierson (https://www.rareformmastering.com):

Mastering folks use compression and limiting and “sonic maximizing” and crap to make CDs sound louder. Unfortunately, it also makes the audio sound worse! Turn the volume on “maximized” audio down to match, and you’ll probably prefer the original.

Here’s the thing: those tricks mostly •don’t work• with analog audio. So people don’t use them.

LPs = worse audio of better masters.
