Is loud needle talk good or bad?

For Yogiboy: 'needletalk' is the direct physical noise the needle/LP interface gives off when playing a record.
It is a purely physical thing. The needle in the groove vibrates, and makes noise. You can actually hear the music directly from the needle/vinyl interface when the system is in motion.
ALL stylus/LP interfaces when the LP is in motion and the stylus is in the groove make this noise. Just some do it much louder than otheers... but they all do it.

What the heck is needle talk?

Thanks Elizabeth for the explanation.I always heard that at a real low level but never gave it a second thought.
