Yes records do sound warmer.  I know when I play CD's out they never 
have the same fullness as vinyl.

That being said the Emu stuff does seem pretty warm though.

I just think that a properly mixed track, with different 
compression,eq effects etc.. is going to sound better than just 
processing the limited outs of an MP7/XL7.

But in a live situation with a big system you can get away with more 
and I'm sure the Command Stations sound fine.  I just wound't expect 
them to sound *better* than records.
