I can't quite read the brand name of my record clamp and the name I think is there, Belex, doesn't google up, But the device is lightweight and easily twist clamps to the spindle by compressing a rubber disc within. Yeah, it doesn't do much for edge warps, and if the LP has assumed a cone shape it'll only flatten it out when the cone is facing downward. I also have to support the bottom of my Sota's platter with one hand as I clamp the clamp down. But yeah, as far as I'm concerned it cleans up fidelity all around. Better imaging. Better transients. Less distortion. Better bass.
All record weights the same ?
What is a good record weight.
Do they harm the motor, or put more stress on a direct drive motor?
Technics sl1200 mkii from the mid late 80’s. Removed platter, unscrewed top, removed spindle , and removed clamp, wiped off old oil, fresh oil, blew out w compressed air, oiled any moving parts.
Put back together, and it’s smooth as silk.
Anyway,...WHATS A GOOD descent record weight that will hold down the LP and not harm or put more strain on the motor.
