Some of the sound that people love is an artifact of

normal human hearing, which is affecting our brains in some other way.
maybe, but it's more likely the large amount of artifacts well within
the range of human hearing :-)
e.g. stereo crosstalk; various flavors of harmonic distortion;
bass resonances caused by the turntable arm; probably other
problems that i don't even know about.
don't get me wrong, I love vinyl, I love the sound of many of my LPs.
But most if not all turntables & records have very serious
fidelity "flaws".
