I'm actually surprised I haven't been able to find more information on this, since I've had two record players and I have noticed this myself. It's probably my only beef with vinyl so far.
Basically what happens is it sounds fine at the start of a side, but as it gets closer to the middle of the record, what it sounds like is the treble frequencies are not clear and muffled, especially when the vocalist pronounces an 'S' or on cymbal crashes, yet the bass frequencies aren't noticeably different. Also happens on 7" vinyl, so this leads me to believe it's related to the angle at which the tonearm is pointed.
Anybody know what could be causing this? Maybe my cartridge isn't high-end enough.
