i guarentee you if you put on an mp3 and vinyl copy of the same tune from warp you will notice a big difference.
yes the tunes are usually from samplers and some digital virtual analog synths which are digits however a lot of it is also from actual analog synths that were never digits, and i know people like squarepusher (on his older machine at least) was using an analog board and an 8 track reel to reel tape machine to actually record the stuff, thus the nice analog warmth and fatness (which does not exist in purely digital form going straight to mp3 from a hard drive) is intakt.
mp3's are about as far from vinyl sound quality as you can possibly get. and i say this as the enthusiastic owner of a large vinyl collection and a 40 gig ipod. mp3's/aac's are great because of space and downloadability, that's it.
