'warm sound' = euphonic distortion not present on the source tape.
IMNSHO 'warm sound' = muffled high frequencies. It's amazing when audiophiles
can find cables so incredibly mediocre that they have difficulty handling
frequencies about 5khz and give that lovely warm sound as one would expect
from a worn out record being played with a worn out stylus. Such progress,
and usually for only $100/ft! But, of course, we all know that equalizers
are bad so it's off to the cable shop to find filters.
Warm sound is generally made by reducing frequencies around 2 kHz.
