I believe that actual resonance or vibration of the LP is a very minor
effect. I don't believe I've ever seen any meausrements of it. Not that LP
playback is not rife with resonances, its just that the other ones are far
more significant.
Just because tire- and wind noise at higher speed far exceeds the
vibrating sound of a loose plastic interior part in a car, it is still
worth the trouble to fix the latter IMO.
Imagine the magnitude of movements of the stylus, and then reflect on
the magnitude and influence of disturbing vibrations and resonances.
Indeed there seems to be very few "research" done about this, if any.
But who, except for a few audio fanatics, would be interested, and
worse, who'd have access to the equipment to measure such effects?
And what method could be used to try to separate the "bad" vibrations
from the wanted stylus movement?
This can be done by listening alone, nothing else.
Of course, doing things right from the start (meaning: desiging a
turntable in such a way that vibrations are absorbed or at least
attenuated, as well as getting the various rresonance frequencies
under control) ) helps a lot, too.
Analog (record) reproduction is a *hobby* to many, Arny.
And while they probably represent a tiny minority of the entire audio
community, that doesn't mean their efforts are futile and should be
discarded, just because it involves "archaic" technology.
