content: About that warmth. The warmth isn't from vinyl, it's from the analog amplifier hooked up to it combined with poor stereo separation (one side bleeding into the other). The studio work could be done to bleed the stereo before post-production, or to boost the low-range to give it that warmth, but that isn't usually what the intended (or accurate) sound is. So vinyl is sort of like that "Bose" sound: it's a distortion that people tend to prefer to the original, even if Bose is tragically unhip and Vinyl is absurdly hip. In terms of streaming... It's at least as good as FM radio. Not great, but I don't see Neil Young ranting about FM radio.
