To clamp or not to clamp, that is the question

I have been using a record clamp (the center weight kind) for 15 years, and I felt this was considered to be best practice, to ensure that the LP is tightly coupled to the platter during playback. I wouldn't use rings, because it isn't worth the possible stylus damage.

But I see a ton of photos of folks playing records sans clamp. I have never done an A/B comparison, by the way, because placing a clamp is so easy, but I'm curious about the experiences of others?
