Sam here again.Is new remastered vinyl fake vinyl?


I grew up on vintage vinyl and I loved that sound, however I haven't owned a turntable in 20 years and the only reason I don't get back into vinyl is because new remastered vinyl is FAKE vinyl and I knew it from the first listen. Granted new remastered vinyl has a lot less surface noise than 1st press vinyl, however the sound is gone and it ain't no accident friends! Just have a listen to a first pressing of is this love by bob marley straight from YouTube to avoid manipulation of the audio.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxy-th7Lkko&t=5s   now have a listen to the remastered version of the same song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCFazxbK6hc  Clearly the 1st press from 1978 has that very distinct sound I remember however, if I didn't know the remastered version was vinyl I would never know because that distinct sound is not there? And you can find hundreds of examples all with the same results. It looks like the vinyl isn't the only thing being played here friends? Compared to the 1st press the remastered version sounds like mono.

That’s no crazier than finding the perfect place in the room for small 1 1/2” Mpingo ebony disc, or placing a square of white paper under a table leg or amp stand leg, or sticking a 1/8” Silver Rainbow Foil on top of the COMPACT DISC logo on a CD label. Or writing,
‘x = PRESENT TIME with a narrow point RED pen on a CD label.

Not to mention ye olde Schumann Frequency generators audiophiles adore that put a 7.83 Hz signal out into the room, 7.83 Hz being suspiciously close to the Alpha Frequencies mentioned in the article.
Apparently the industry figured out a long time ago what consumers want is low noise and no tape hiss, no pops and clicks. The buying public doesn’t care about analog sound or anything like that.
