Adjusting the clamp (over the rubber washer) to each record drove me nuts.  Different record weights and different kinds of warps each call for a unique deformation of the disk.

Got rid of the clamp and replaced it with a peripheral weight and inexpensive center weight.  Much easier to manage; just throw them on and play.  No thinking involved.  Better SQ too!

Sold my VPI SS clamp making the ring weight cost a bit easier to bear.
