Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I agree with you 100%...

That is exactly why I bought a turntable with vacuum hold-down. Not only does it eliminate internal vibrations within the vinyl LP by pressing it firmly against a massive platter, but it also flattens most warped records completely. Of course, it won't flatten 180-gram or 200-gram pressings if they are warped. It uses a vacuum of only 3" Hg in order to prevent out-gassing of the vinyl. However, that still results in a pressure of 150-lbs distributed evenly against the vinyl surface, which will flatten most 120-gram LPs completely.

Best regards,
John Elison
