This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

The warmer sound is more to do with the production, especially the EQ bias, than the medium itself.
Old albums that have been directly transferred to CD from the master tapes still sound the way they did when they were mixed down; quite a few re-releases in the 80s and early 90s were especially remastered for CD with a different EQ bias, so they didn't sound much like the original versions. Conversely, I've got a Tangerine Dream LP from 1984 that's just as crisp and clear on vinyl (barring the surface noise) as it is on CD.

Eq Bias
The mixdown for the cd version of Born In the usa ruined that release. There's a massive hole where the midrange should be.
