Oh dear. Hobby-horse rears it's head again.

Sadly a highly flawed and erroneous page that only perpetuates a lack of
deeper understanding of the multiple issues with good or bad mastering
and remastering..

- Loudness wars are/were not the sole the domain of REmastering.

- Remastering does not inherently imply reduced dynamic range.

- Loudness (or other mastering or remaster processes) do not inherently
need to be digital to acheive either good or bad things.

- There are many remastered releases that sound FANTASTIC compared to
the original. The most objectionable ones were from the era of early
digital processing with relatively poor AD and bit-depths. And those
flaws are not related to hyper-compression.
