Record Clamp for Rega P5?

I've been using a souther clever clamp on my p25 with good results- inexpensive fix!

I believe that Michell makes (or made) a clamp for the short spindle.
It looks like the normal Michell clamp, except it is marked with an R on the top and is made specificly for the Rega. I've seen a couple Pictured and described as such on ebay.

I have more info on the Michell Rega clamp. The clamp is a NEW item. Apparently the problem with them, at this time, is that they may be dificult to find as the demand is greater than the supply, and they may be on back order.
The ones I've seen pictured have the black knob.

I use a Clearaudio clamp on my P3 and it clamps the short spindle just fine.

Despite Rega believing that clamps don't make it sound better, I much prefer my P3 with clamp in place.

Right now I'm demo'ing the Locus Design DampClamp...

Although it should be noted that I don't own a Rega, I can hear a huge difference when compared to not using a clamp at all.

I can't imagine *not* using a clamp on a table. Period.
