A sign of the times?

Overheard comment by a young guy trying to impress his girlfriend at a recent HiFi show.
" Downloads will never sound as good as CDs. CDs are just so much warmer."

A sign of the times indeed Where it can be " claimed"a CD sounds warmer than downloads. Very funny but likely quite true in some circumstances.
