The "Warmth" people claim to hear is nothing more than time-based distortion (Known as "wow"), more inherent noise due to turntable rumble, low frequency feedback from the speakers (Boom sounds travel through the floor, up through the feet of the turntable, to the record and back to the needle), and lousy high frequency response especially with music near the inner groves.

Real audiopphiles prefer CD's because for nothing else, the sound is much closer to the sound the musicians want with no his, crackles, or other distortion (unless purposely added).

By all means, buy albums because they're fun to have and because you "like" how they sound, but don't kid yourself: They can never sound "better" than CD's.
