What does mist racking actually sound like?

I have heard descriptions of this as gross as 'skipping' and varying to distortion on dynamic passages to intermittent pops. I'm probably sure all of the above are true to a varying degree, but does someone have mp3 audio tracks of the examples of mist racking? I would love to hear it.

Thanks so much for the responses. Doug, you are reading my mind. My XV-1S probably has about 150 hours on it now and I have been currently running it around 2.174 grams. I've been reading you and Thom's posts on the XV-1s, ideal VTF and anti-skate so I'm starting to embark on the ideal VFT/Anti-skate journey. Getting 'mistracking' clarified beyond skipping was important. Its gonna be a fund weekend. Thanks again! I really appreciate these forums and the help they provide so much!

Phil,

Send me a check and it'll be a "fund weekend" indeed. ROFL (at you, not with you of course). ;)

Start your VTF explorations with A/S at zero. VTF should be explored/optimized first. A/S comes later, and only to the extent needed to avoid R channel mistracking AT THE OPTIMAL VTF.

Oh God, what have I started?! Ha! No, not my VTF/anti-skate explorations, but my darn laziness in spell checking. We've degenerated to racks - the snack tray variety! Yum!
