A friend had a vinyl copy of The 1812 Overture. At the point where the cannons started firing, they increased the groove spacing to allow the full dynamic range. Unfortunately, you could see where my friend's needle had taken shortcuts across the biggest transients.
Idk if it’s true but supposedly in the the Telarc recording, the cannon fire went down to like 7Hz and would blow out your speakers if the signal wasn’t filtered.
With things like 1812 one of the problems was not always recognized back when vinyl was king.
The recording can be so realistic it captures the actual earth moving along with the heavier-than-normal sound waves hitting the microphones.
The bigger speakers and higher power amplifiers were always favored to reproduce the shock waves, and that's what happened.
It was the speakers' high volume not the smallness of the micro-groove that pushed the needle off the record and it emphasized the need for far better isolation of the turntable during the reproduction process than was needed for the microphone during the recording process.
A well calibrated turntable pickup/arm will not jump until you turn it up past a certain point, but that point is much lower when it's the 1812 Overture, and you don't really need an audiophile setup to shake things when the source material captures that to begin with.
OTOH with radio-friendly pop music a dancer or two in an upstairs room could make the needle jump to the next song on the disc :(
