A long shot perhaps, but do you have any hum/rumble and harmonics of those in your playback system? In addition to the fundamental hum, its harmonics will create a pseudo reverb effect and other distortions. The pseudo reverb, however, will not behave like the pre-echo that you are describing. It can indeed sound like an overdriven stylus or electronics. A good hum removal plug-in can work wonders in this scenario.
