If it's nonlinear, the audiophile is guaranteed to relish the warm tone.
The definition of an audiophile is: someone who listens to the speakers (or the equipment, in general) rather than the music. Without distortion, there is nothing for the audiophile to listen to.

This hasn't been my experience with many audiophiles. There are many who are obsessed with the "transparency" of their setup, and I have met more of those than people obsessed with "tube sound" or other distortions.

This is just ignorant. Plenty of audiophiles (including myself) go after gear that's as neutral and transparent as possible. Also warmth and distortion aren't the same thing.
