A good chance it damages your needle, music will sound bad too.
yes, a couple weeks ago. It's The Roots Phrenology
Upon googling it, this doesn't seem to be true. Do you have evidence to base that on? I mean as long as the warp isn't launching the the needle up off the record surface it should be fine.

It can irregularly wear your stylus as it rubs against the inside and base of the groove wall due to the azimuth and VTF being thrown off by the warp. It can cause inner groove distortion as the stylus runs against the inside of the groove wall, it will also irregularly wear that warped section of your vinyl as the increased pressure caused by the raising and lowering of the vinyl will over time wear down the grooves in those warped sections and it will begin to sound worse and worse. Depending on the size of the warp, the type of stylus you're using, the quality of your cart etc you may hear the distortion right off the bat, or you might not. But the main thing is, records are designed to be played flat, not doing so will over time will detrimentally effect both the stylus and the record.

Upon googling... I found some internet things that supported my belief and chose to ignore the things that didn’t. Show me your evidence, Jack!

I'm not the one claiming it damaged anything. @Mather did a pretty good job of showing why it may damage the stylus. I for sure figured it would prematurely wear the record but didn't think about an uneven force on the stylus possibly wearing that prematurely as well.

Hey Mather, I got a movie idea and you could play the lead. We can remake the Phantom of the Paradise. But instead of the lead character falling face first into a record press, they'll fall into a vinyl flat and haunt all the places that ship warped records as the........

Believe me, be afraid of that DF-2, the thing is damn near sentient now. Screw Skynet, Judgement Day will be brought about that flattening beast.
