i believe the recording and mastering processes ’bleach out’ the sound to some degree ... there are losses at each step... therefore the sympathetic distortions in reproduction ’rebuild’ or ’restore’ some of the warmth, body, and dimensionality of the music (even most ’analog’ recordings are digitized, and even analog handling has losses)
like every time you store or handle or freeze food, you lose some of the texture and original ’realness’ of the food... thus ’seasoning’ often make it nice again... different, but nicer than if you didn’t...
