The Platter Ground™ is unlike other record weights or clamps as this product improves sonic by mechanical grounding and transferring resonance from the surfaces of vinyl records, tonearms, phono cartridges, and platters to the vertical grounding plane of the turntable, commonly known as the spindle.
- You will hear deeper into the recording.
- Compare the sonic merits to other weights and clamps costing hundreds up to thousands of dollars more.
- Weighs only 269 grams (0.6 pounds) - much less in comparison to the majority of weights and clamps. Does not place additional stress on motors and belts as most weights and clamps.
- Does not dampen sound.
Problem: Extraneous energy generated by mechanical, electromechanical and, more importantly airborne resonance, directly affect the tonearm, record and cartridge performance. Amplitudes of this resonance cycle through the entire turntable structure, the release of which is impeded by friction within the contact of materials per Coulomb's law. (pdf link below)

Solution: Research of turbulent energy patterns established on the vinyl record surface has opened doors to new mechanical grounding insight. It has been discovered that under constant centrifugal momentum, introduction of the Platter Ground caused resonant energies in such a structure to become neutralized (become laminar in fashion). As a result, the resultant force vector of detrimental energy (mechanical, electromechanical and airborne resonances) become purely "normal" (perpendicular) to the spindle, opening a direct pathway for unwanted outside energy to flow away from the table. This in effect expedites the mechanical grounding effect, thus removing (not damping) the resonant byproducts.
Reviewed by Norm Luttbeg:
"Star Sound Technologies continues their innovations. This one surprised me. It is to be put on your records in the center. It is what they call a platter ground. Not a record weight as it weighs little. Not a record clamp as it doesn’t clamp. It also is not in contact with the spindle. So how, you might ask, does it work?
This unit offers immediate illumination of the recording venue. I thought I was in the recording studio once I upped the volume to real levels for this big band.”

Question: What if the Platter Ground falls over onto the vinyl and does it wobble about on the record?
Answer: The Platter Ground does not tip or fall over with exception to “human” blunder. Does not wobble; the PG is specifically engineered and balanced for maintaining stability in motion unless record is warped at the spindle location. “I have never seen a record warped at the center spindle location.” Jamie Holmes, Proprietor Double Decker Records, Allentown, PA - Over 30,000 new and used albums always in stock.
SALE INFORMATION: This sale consists of a limited number of Platter Grounds classified as “B” Stock Merchandise consisting of minor cosmetic scratches located on the top flange surface area. Unless you look directly down on the record the visual imperfections remain hidden from view. Price is firm. Performance and function of the product is as guaranteed - 100%.
