I've been reading about how the physical characteristics of vinyl—like surface noise and harmonic distortion—might contribute to a perceived 'warmth' that many listeners prefer. In contrast, digital formats are often praised for clarity and precision. From a technical standpoint, what mechanisms actually cause those differences in perception? Is it mainly the analog circuitry, the medium itself, or something psychological? Would love to hear thoughts on the underlying factors and any experiences you’ve noticed.
How does analog vinyl playback affect perceived warmth compared to digital?

In your experience, does the RIAA equalization curve or the harmonic distortion from the cartridge have a larger impact on the perceived warmth of vinyl? Also, have you noticed any listener bias that might amplify that warmth compared to digital sources?
