For me, vacuum hold down, or VPI peripheral clamp are valuable aids. Not only do these hold the record tightly to the platter, but they take out all the little hills and valleys, so that your tonearm doesn't have to track like a Porsche to keep the stylus squarely on the road.
Turntable/Tonearm Advice
I'm considering one of the following combinations and would appreciate comments from anyone familiar with these. There are no SOTA or OL dealers near me, so I can't listen to any of these (I've never even seen OL gear).
