I have yet to
hear any *audible* consequence therefrom, but what were
the records? I'm always curious!!


Given all the other bad things that happen naturally while vinyl is being
played...

But, here's a better test.

(1) Support the LP around the edges, not in the middle of the grooves as
shown by the picture on your web site.

(2) With the lid open and the room quiet, record a quiet groove being
played.

(3) With the lid open and the room filled with the sound of say, pink
noise, record the same quiet groove being played.


Forget all that, all I'm interested in is whether or not one can actually
*hear* the difference between point support and flat on the platter when
listening (without a lid). You obviously managed to find your way to my
picture and sound samples - it's this simple: which of the 3 clips are with
the record flat on the mat and which are on the Tic Tacs? Can you *in any
way shape* tell?

For the rest, here are the samples:
