Analog recording and basilar membrane massage

The very subtle speed variations around a mean value produce corresponding frequency spectrum variations. Moving parts are circular. But we can't have a perfect circle to any accuracy.


It may be thought like caressing the basilar membrane as frequency shift corresponds to distance shift excitation at the basilar membrane. Could this be another reason why analogue recording sounds so smooth, warm, ...
