Why is most everything remastered?

That’s why I buy original analog from the 50s to the early 80s. Many times, once digitized, the tiny details that give music its nuance and soul are lost forever. Sat in on an Acoustic Sounds demo with Chad Kassem of original vs remastered vinyl. Apart from some cleaning up of the recording, the music lost its blackness and took on a grey hash and fine detail was smoothed over. They all thought this was great. I wasn’t convinced.

for many remastered is a marketing bait. that’s why. otherwise it’s literally nothing unless the original mastering is crap, but regardless, for some reason, the crappy original mastering is often more desirable than remastered and so on...

og triangle issue of DSOM sounds better than any audiophile remastered versions including UHQR.

I was fooled by the marketing bait into buying remastered CDs. After continually being disappointed by these ruined albums, I now buy only original pressings. Early Redbook CDs are what the albums are supposed to sound like. 

I think it's a mistake to assume the original masters were intended by the artists.  In the great majority of cases, artists had little to no control over such things.  Record companies did.

What I meant by artist was composer or engineer.
