"warps not my concern" but thats what a peripheral ring is for.
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,
Elliott

My only experience with the Waynesaudio periphery clamp is through a friend who purchased one for a VPI Scoutmaster, his issue was with how it lipped up above the edge of the record it sat on and interfered with the body of an AT cartridge at the lead in groove. He switched carts to avoid this issue and has been using in with success for the last 4 years. I myself run a VPI and use their peripheral ring and would not want to be without it as it certainly takes care of any warped albums when used in conjunction with a BDR screw down clamp. Out of 1,600 albums I have about 4 that the ring does not help, due to the disc them selves being cut a little smaller than industry standard and the ring does not catch the lip of the album, I still use it on those albums for the added mas though. @lewm , I saw your post about record flatteners and thought this would be a great way/simplest way to solve this issue if you could find one that works on one of your tables. Enjoy the music
