My VPI came with the "ring" but I have as yet to use it. I am nervous about it damaging my $3,000 cartridge. I use a Stillpoints weight which works pretty well. Most of my vinyl is pretty flat. My turntable can certainly handle the extra weight of the ring and center weight if used.
Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??
I'm getting the itch for a ring clamp, i.e. Wayne's Audio. He has one that works on my JVC-Victor TT81's big tapered surround. this or the other simple one, no extra weights
Seems like a smart thing to do, mt TT81 Spinner ought to have no problem with extra weight.
Positives?
Negatives?
Problems Encountered?
Sources?
as always, thanks,
