What's wrong with this picture?????

That it's only your own assessment of your remastering.
Mastering professionals and their clients have ears that
appreciate the nuances that dynamics give to music. Your
removal of them is not generally acknowledged as
improvement. Quite the contrary. It is the growing
consensus among such professionals that dynamics removal for
the sake of broadcast loudness has gone over the top in
recent years and there is a growing movement to stop that
nonsense. You seem to be the lone voice in the wilderness
saying that we haven't yet begun to sufficiently homogenize
and distort it.

Where do you do the most of your listening?


What you see in that screenshot isn't a "mustagot lucky" one-time
accident either. This is yet another high-profile example of what I
experience on a daily basis with nearly every single one of my "older",
unremastered CDs.

Looking at sound is like dancing about architecture.

BTW, is rec.audio a real group? It's in the headers of
these messages from you but bounces from my news server
which is a pretty complete one.
