Among several ridiculously false assertions in the latest OMA video, he mentions that "all vacuum hold down have a soft rubber material between the record and the platter". Is that true?Exactly. Can you see vacuum hold being applied anywhere?
most vacuum hold downs have a flexible rubber membrane integrated into the platter edge to hold the vacuum in. might also have a small rubber disc at the spindle to hold the vacuum. to say it's between the platter and the pressing is not wrong or right, it's touching the edge (and label) and each design would likely do it slightly differently. it's part of the platter<->pressing contact equation. the much larger issue is the possible 'over-damping' of the pressing by the vacuum effect. again, which will vary from design to design.Among several ridiculously false assertions in the latest OMA video, he mentions that "all vacuum hold down have a soft rubber material between the record and the platter".
