I think you may be referring to feedback out of the stylus arm. When =
the grooves are cut for deep bass, but are pressed into narrow =
grooves--as in a compilation--no amount of stylus weight or =
anti-skating can stop the reverberations from travelling back and =
forth through the stylus arms. The worst example of this I have ever =
heard is Green Velvet's Flash on the Future Sound of Chicago =
compilation. It's muddy to begin with, and it gets worse on a loud =
system.
