1st press vinyl vs new vinyl something is terribly wrong here

Sam here again and I’ve been telling you what you know is true new vinyl is fake vinyl and it’s not an accident that classic stereoness you hear with vintage vinyl is missing from new vinyl. and it ain’t no accident friends. 1st press https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34q59j0VaPU new remaster sound like vinyl cd? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87xebVFhhF0

I used to be in the analog camp vs. digital but not anymore. It's how the source recording material is done now ah days.

I’ve been back and forth more than once or twice. I’d say mostly it all depends. Depends on what one values sonically and what system and software/medium. Like apples and watermelons somewhat. Musicality, resolution, tonality, air, warmth, dynamic range, etc.

Myth: Vinyl has greater resolution than CD because its dynamic range is higher than for CD at the most audible frequencies...

The dynamic range of vinyl, when evaluated as the ratio of a peak sinusoidal amplitude to the peak noise density at that sine wave frequency, is somewhere around 80 dB. Under theoretically ideal conditions, this could perhaps improve to 120 dB. The dynamic range of CDs, when evaluated on a frequency-dependent basis and performed with proper dithering and oversampling, is somewhere around 150 dB. Under no legitimate circumstances will the dynamic range of vinyl ever exceed the dynamic range of CD, under any frequency, given the wide performance gap and the physical limitations of vinyl playback.
