I think you may be referring to feedback out of the stylus arm. When the grooves are cut for deep bass, but are pressed into narrow grooves--as in a compilation--no amount of stylus weight or anti-skating can stop the reverberations from travelling back and forth through the stylus arms. The worst example of this I have ever heard is Green Velvet's Flash on the Future Sound of Chicago compilation. It's muddy to begin with, and it gets worse on a loud system.
