One of the phenomena of some records is that excessive bass can cause the needle to jump out of the groove.
Tchaikovsky*, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Erich Kunzel – 1812 : https://www.discogs.com/release/2205254-Tchaikovsky-Cincinnati-Symphony-Orchestra-Erich-Kunzel-1812-Capriccio-Italien-Cossack-Dance-From-Maz?ev=item-vc https://www.discogs.com/release/2205254-Tchaikovsky-Cincinna...
> Amazing recording! The sonic mastering on this one is outstanding. Make sure you have your stylus and needle prepared for the canon blasts in the 1812 overture! Take a look at how wide the grooves are near the end of Side 1! I had to adjust my tone-arm weight so the needle didn't get thrown off the track or skip. This is a great listen and sounds amazing.

So there are very real reasons why a record would have a different mix than a CD.
- kbutler 4y agoThis appears to be one more real reason why vinyl is objectively worse than a CD.
