EQ etc

I just thought I would add a little more to the above accurate information.

As you run the EQ away from flat, the distortion increases. All of the things the above poster says are in play, but he politely did not mention that you are probably adding distortion on top of the inner groove distortion. This EQ setting might not be a problem on the more gentle turns, but on the inner grooves, the amount from the two sources of distortion might combine to make it very noticeable.

Plus, speakers trying to reproduce distortion often find the signal very difficult, so they also will distort the signal trying to give note to wave forms outside of their design limits. In the worst cases, the drivers no longer move correctly, and the voice coils will move in a non linear fashion, instead of a straight in and out, you get a wobble as it moves. This might also be an added source of distortion, it's just speculation. The other two you can count on.
