Stumbled upon this article. Turns out that recording companies are also to blame for the sound quality reduction in music today.
Its a long article and I had to read it slowly to fully comprehend the content of it. It seems that sound engineers these days are making albums louder that they did in the past. Those who have used Sound Forge or Audacity would know that when the volume is increased, detail is lost through clipping. Page 7 of the article which can be found here fully illustrates my point.
Maybe that is why instrumental records mastered in the 1980's and early 1990's sound so much clearer that what can be found today.
