Issue with dynamic range database

Listen to the whole thing before commenting .... especially the part where the poster says, "I know, because I mastered it."

I do know that there is a lot of digital music that is overly compressed and limited, and that frequently digital remasters are. What difference in DR numbers is significant? 2db, 3db or what? TIA

So to say what he's doing is quite hard - no conditions of experiment. There is differences between CD and LP. Proper sound engineer keeps them in mind. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/mastering-for-vinyl-tips-for-digital-mastering-engineers.html

He does a great job trying to explain it away. But the most relevant part is where he says there's just way too many variables so I DON'T KNOW why vinyl does this. It just does.
