Flutter on a tape transport is similarly a time base error. The time that a particular piece of tape crosses the head gap varies, e.g. because the capstan is slightly eccentric or because there is scrape flutter (the tape is vibrating slightly longitudinally). LP playback suffers from off center holes and warp wow, which in turn depends on geometry. Turntables suffer from the effects of bearing noise, which adds time base errors that modulate the music as well as rumble which is present even in the silent grooves.
Excessive use of headphones is a symptom of various problems, including a poor domestic situation and excessive multi-tasking. At its limit, the headphone disease is fatal, e.g. when the ambulatory listener steps out in front of a truck that he could not hear coming, thereby meriting at least runner-up status for a Darwin Award.
