I'm not a DJ, but here's my take on it: Vinyl gives a boost around
100-150Hz a lot of the time. This corresponds to the peak in most smaller
speakers, and I think this is the frequency area many people think of as
"bass". Frequencies lower than that are more difficult to hear, and more
difficult (and/or expensive) to reproduce. Listen to some speakers with
deep, even bass response and you will find it is a much different
experience to really -hear- a deep tone rather than infering it from
information in somewhat higher frequencies.. Plus, you typically lose
some high end with vinyl ... more perceived bass boost.
