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).

Well, if you want people to compare audio samples, they should be as alike
as possible aside from the difference being investigated.

These obviously aren't all that similar.

Looks like the needle was dropped on the record at different points.

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?

Sample 2 seems to be the most different from the rest.
