Default Anyone tune their gear to 432hz when recording analog music?

Have been listening to some oldies tunes i usually don't listen to that was tuned to 432hz vs 44.1hz and the difference is noticeble.

Is anyone doing this with guitars and bass etc or is it a myth that it sound warmer and less distorting?

We did a test this weekend as we had some time and recorded via our SSL4000G+ and PRS Custom 24 w/bird inlays guitars that usually only hangs on the wall and both Fender guitars and basses and damn warm and clear sound came out

Is this just rose colored glass syndrome or is 432hz really that much better sounding lon analog gear? Tried a few synth VI and a few hardware synths. The Prophet 5 V3.3 and both a 30 year old MiniMoog and a MiniMoog from a few years back (new old version limited edition) and to be honest the Prophet5 and the original MiniMoog looses tune as per usual with these oldies so it was harder to say if they sounded as good as the guitars and basses but the newer Synths we tried like the limited edition MiniMoog and a few others were better as they stay in tune

So I know this has been discussed to death onthe web and I am not trying to start another long back and forth just to be annoying, I am asking seriously as we never tried this before and all of us who were in the studio were stunned how different everything sounded. We even tried a 3 pc string session on some modern pop tunes and the strings sounded fabulously warm and "Big" so there is something to be said about 432hz for sure.

School me please
