gunnar,

i think this is why products like the HEDD, PHOENIX plugs, NEVE TAPE emulation box, FATSO, McDSP ANALOG CHANNEL, even the UA plugs, and summing BOXES are made and sold.  to SUM analog is to get a bit of pleasing harmonic distortion.  many people (including myself at times) insert analog boxes (both solid state & tube) into the mix path or on the mix bus.  it's also why a lot of engineers track things like drums on 2" and then dump into a DAW for editing.  

time will tell how much of this "pleasing" sound was a paradigm sonic aesthetics of our ethos, and how much of it is related to the way we, as organisms interacting with our environment, hear.  maybe, there will be nostalgia for the sound of 80's reverbs, or, iTunes, or MPC 2000's in 25 years... and the old guys on forums like this will HATE the new ____ technology, talk about how pleasing 2005 era digital sounded.
