maybe, but it's more likely the large amount of artifacts well within
the range of human hearing :-)
e.g. stereo crosstalk; various flavors of harmonic distortion;
bass resonances caused by the turntable arm; probably other
problems that i don't even know about.
don't get me wrong, I love vinyl, I love the sound of many of my LPs.
But most if not all turntables & records have very serious
fidelity "flaws".
