Record clamp

Hello Audiogon Forum,
I have a Rega P3 turntable with a Kiseki Purple Heart phono cartridge. I am wondering if utilizing a 5.4 ounce light weight record clamp will add to the sound quality at all or will a record clamp hurt the turntable in any way?
Thanks so much for your input.

I agree! That cartridge needs a much nicer table, ( I am also a current Rega & Kiseki owner and former dealer for both). The P3 is an excellent table, but that Purple Heart deserves better!

I use an Aluminati weight on my P25.  They used to sell them on here.

There used to be a company called EON Research that made "The Pod".  It was a lightweight, plastic 3-point clamp that worked pretty well on the short Rega spindle.

Then it was available from Ortofon and Pickering and I think a few others.

If you can find one, it might be worth a try?
