Audio-Technica AT666, 1983 - cover

Booklet for the Audio-Technica AT666, a vacuum record stabilizer with a manual suction pump, pressure indicator and 1.4 kg plate. The wonderfully audiophile idea was to pull the record flat against the turntable platter and give it a pressure-equivalent hold of about 250 kg effective mass. Audio-Technica claimed this would reduce wow and flutter, surface noise, vibration and howling, while making cartridge and tonearm differences easier to hear.
