(idm) instant reverb

        did you ever think that maybe records create their own sort of
reverb. when you play vinyl the sounds doesn't come out of the speakers
instantaneously after the groove hits the needle. it may seem so but i'm
sure it takes a billionth of a second or so for the sound to come out.
when the sound comes out of the speakers it creates the same kind of
frequencies and vibrations that the vinyl did a billionth (or whatever)
of a second earlier. the vibes and freqs from the speakers (if they are
good enough [mind you this whole thing probably doesn't work if you just
have the headphones on]) ought to be able to grind themselves into the
vinyl using the stylus itself, so there would be a "sound of the sound
after the sound" you know what i'm sayin'. its like an artificial reverb.
perhaps if you had some BIG speakers right up next to the stylus then you
could create reverb good enough to set off a domino or (i'm not sure if
this is the right term for this but) a fractal effect where each delay
would creat the next until they were to hard to hear. 
        if any of this was true you probably wouldn't even be able to
hear it (so this whole paragraph has no point). well i don't know //
maybe if you played the record enough time and the original track got
worn down to where you could here it, but that could take a long time.
