source, or the person 'doing' the remastering.

The original source is really no longer the best possible way to hear what was played. Mainly due to tape deterioration.
Then the idiots doing the remastering steps.
Too many try to be 'pure' and not alter what is on the tape at all. Which is NOT what the original person mastering the album did.
Some guys who do mastering are famous and desired.Like Robert Ludwig (Rolling Stones masterings), or Rudy Van Gelder (Jazz)
Those guys have been noted for doing really great work.

Well, SOME guys doing remastering are idiots. Not everyone knows how to do the job 'well'. Some folks think they are doing it right, when in fact they mess it up. Maybe they are trying hard to be 'true to the original' when they mess up.. Hard to say. Whatever the reason, it sounds bad.
