This has an effect on the harmonics that we are unable to hear, however just because we can't hear it, it doesn't mean these harmonics are irrelevant. These harmonic frequencies interact with those within our hearing range and this is what people recognise as warmth in a recording.

did you copy and paste this from somewhere?? cause damn. if that came off of the top of your head, i think you should maybe invest in a carreer of professional 'explaining'. like... for fuckin' ceral boxes and shit. serious. its good money. i know a spoken word artists in minneapolis/st.paul (dessa) who did that and made good $$$$.

frankly, i prefer vinyl to cd because its indier.
i said it. you all were thinking it.
