In Reply to: To clamp or not to clamp, that is the question posted by TGR on August 26, 2016 at 08:34:42:
Are all ways to battle vibrations that can ruin stable imaging on playback. It has been demonstrated by people who know a hell of a lot more than I do about this subject and explained many, many times.
Heavy weight pressings are another way to tackle the same problem. In short there are surface vibrations on the LP that make their way to the stylus/cantilever and screws up the reproduction. The ideal LP playback would be to have the stylus pick up nothing but the information in the grooves. It is a physical playback medium and can suffer from anything that gets to the stylus, where-ever that something starts.
We all battle environment issues with isolation platforms, heavy weight plinths, sorbothane feet, etc, etc ,etc. All of that stuff is to isolate the playback from environmental feedback. Its a real problem and you can realize improvements from clamps, rings and/or vacuum hold down.
How audible it is, is another matter. If its a rotten pressing, forget the clamps or whatever. If its a stellar pressing with lots of low level details, its probably worth the effort.
Its like everything else in this hobby. The closer you get your rig to playback nirvana, the more things we find to muck it all up.
