I use a peripheral ring on my Technics SL-1200G, and the sonic benefit is clear to me (along with a Stillpoints LP weight). They couple the record better to the platter to drain away the spurious vibrations in the vinyl caused by the needle tracing the groove. Prior to that I ran a SOTA Cosmos with vacuum hold down and reflex clamp, which achieved the same basic objective.
Using them brings a touch greater clarity in the subtle details of the recording, and a better overall frequency balance, IME.
Do make sure your table's bearing and motor are up to it. With the Technics there is no question.
