Ok, if we run with that as the working hypothesis, then those studio guys who run their signal through a tube line stage or vintage processor of some sort or other to add "warmth" are onto something.So no I don't think there is some unknown unmeasured digital artifact. This idea was further strengthened years later when I had an ADC and could record LPs on turntables. You didn't lose the LP sound it was correctly captured by digital recording. So there is no artifact of digital messing that up.
Look, the whole idea that we want to hear the microphone feed in our living rooms is bunk. The control room doesn't sound like the concert or the other side of the glass during the session so why should our listening room. What we want is something that makes us excited. We want something that sounds like it "could be" the concert or what the musicians intended.
