Re: Frictional heating of vinyl

Of course, it is possible that any measurable difference may have been due to something happening other than deformation, whether thermally or mechanically induced, of the vinyl, such as heating or otherwise disturbing anything from the stylus through the cartridge and on down the signal path.

Also, if the notion of actually moving vinyl is to be believed, movement of vinyl would enlarge grooves, would it not? Which would result in higher signal levels, would it not?

Vinyl is very tough stuff - it's hard to believe it can't take more than one pass of a record stylus every 24 hours without damage. Of course, the one thing I can say in support of the 24 hour rule is that we should all be listening to more different music!
