why does many youtube music videos sound better than my cd player

many of the old music videos from the 60s, 70s and 80s which ordinary users have uploaded sound better in playback than the cds do in my stereo cd player.....is this because those music videos are uploaded from record/vinyl recordings? and sound deeper, better all round quality?

or is it the case that my cds will be poor manufactured quality or my cd player needs replacing and isn't that good?

@RedBaron instead of correcting my minor mistake, why not answer the question instead?

@greenknight The magnitude of an error is in the eye of the beholder. One person's minor mistake is another's fingernails scratching a blackboard. And my guess is that since the Internet has rendered standalone media obsolete, you probably just have an old and crappy CD player. Not a big mystery.

@RedBaron well thats tough isn't it? because what are you gonna do about my grammar mistake then? you sound self righteous and opinionated for my liking.

@greenknight I don't particularly care what you think. You sound careless and ignorant for my liking.
