The Loudness War Has Secretly Invaded Vinyl And Destroyed What Made It Special

 

Melone. I just hope you have enough character and aren't too proud to learn something new...


When a digitally produced song is pressed onto vinyl, the result often has a warmer sound compared to the direct digital playback.
This is because vinyl, as an analog medium, introduces subtle harmonic distortion and gentle compression, smoothing out sharp edges and adding depth and richness to the music.

Many listeners describe this warmth as being similar to the effect of tape saturation, where the analog process brings out more character and makes the sound feel less sterile and more inviting.

Vinyl does this by delivering the audio as a continuous, physical signal, rather than the perfectly precise ones and zeros of digital formats.

Some of the tiny details might get softened in the process, which can make the overall impression both more natural and immersive.

So yes, pressing a digital track onto vinyl can noticeably enhance the listening experience by making it warmer and fuller—especially if you appreciate that classic analog vibe.

Hello @Somnambulist, in the last third of life, we probably have different priorities regarding what's important and what we still want to do. For me and others, this is called shedding excess baggage so that we have room for other things in life. I think you get rid of material things that burden you or hinder your progress.

After you explained it to me, I would split up the record collection. I would put your parents' original records somewhere separate and maybe label them. It's also an investment, so it's a security measure.
