+1 to Lewm
Not only my platter, but my bearing, plinth, armboard and TT supports were all designed and built to dissipate/dampen vibrations. Clamping on this table is beneficial.
My secondary TT is the just opposite, noisy motor and the platter rings like a bell. Clamping a record to that rig is a sonic disaster
My summary was:
Couple TO quiet materials, isolate FROM from noisy ones.
We're in complete agreement.
