You can call it whatever you want, but the bass sounds different on vinyl. I've read enough on the subject to know that it is actually the result of vinyl's limitations and the hard work of engineers to make up for that, but what we're left with is something that I would describe as "warmer".
I'm not ragging on you but since Neil Young coined that phrase years ago it just seems to have really caught on...I love vinyl as well but I dont know what "warmer" sounds like..I just say it sounds better
I love vinyl too, partly for the sound and partly for nostalgic reasons. But to put it simply, the apparent warmth is really just harmonic distortion.
What is a 12 inch vinyl in the metric system?
About $20.
in Australian dollars?
Guatemalan dollars. Makes the conversion rate easier.

It sounds amazing. Such a great album. You're welcome to come over for a listen and have a few glasses of Chivas.

The only albums I noticed an appreciable difference on vinyl were Lightning Bolt and the Into the Wild soundtrack...at least of the ones I have, which is the first 5 albums, Backspacer, LB, and the Into the Wild soundtrack.
