I echo Mwilson, my Gyro's spindle is not threaded. I have not noticed any noise with my DC motor. Stick with the lightweight clamp on this touchy sprung turntable! I let the platter stop before taking the clamp and vinyl off. Consider it a moment of zen. If you don't have patience, then vinyl might no be for you--LOL! The Gyro is fussy but sounds great when everything is set up and running properly!
BTW, any of you cats using any kind of upgraded lightweight clamp on your Gyros? I wonder if there's something better than the basic Michell clamp, maybe for "dished" warps?
