Default Ever heard an exotic high-dollar turntable playing LP's? Huge difference? No?

Isn't that lateral force going to introduce at least some audio
distortion?


Yes, there's a small skating force, resulting in slightly more lateral
force on the inner groove than the other. And yes, it results in a
new kind of tracking distortion.
