Ron, Vic the designer of my Trans Fi Salvation tt has gone one step further than Touraj.
My platter is 8kg of aluminium, and upon it are bonded a dozen Delrin pods.
This means that the lp doesn't even sit on the platter, but upon 12 individual points.
No clamping or periphery ring.
And my Terminator tonearm at 5" and air bearing/linear tracking, seems to float on the lp, w/the lp free to undulate as it spins.
It seems totally counter intuitive, but there is less mistracking than in the days when I used a TTWeights ring and Oyaide clamp.
Vic, like Touraj, believes that the vinyl should "breathe", and not be shackled in any way.
