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.

Don't you mean grooved omage?
But seriously, it's a good question. Inquiring minds want to know.

It depends on how heavy the mist is and how well built the rack is, or something like that!!!!!

So can anyone please describe what subtle and not so subtle mistracking sounds like? Anyone have audio clips of examples?

The mist is gone and the rack is stacked. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Darn, I thought someone actually came up with some new audio topic that I had not heard of before.

Mistracking usually results in some combination of audible distortion and/or superfluous surface noise as the stylus tracks the record.
