I've heard "the Big Pig" was a great non threaded clamp--I don't know if it's still in production. There are probably some new ones that are even better. I have a VPI--so it's threaded and I can't give you any first hand information. I can tell you that I upgraded the VPI clamp to a BDR carbon fiber clamp. It made a significant improvement--which surprised me. I found one at a great price and thought--why not, can't hurt, and the carbon fiber looks pretty cool. I don't think BDR makes a non-threaded clamp--but if someone does make a carbon fiber non-threaded one, and it made as big a difference as it did on my TT, I would certainly recommend it.
RECORD CLAMPS HELP
Hello there, I could really use some help from those with experience using record clamps. Could you refer to me a clamp for use with a spindle that is NOT threaded. Are you under the belief that a clamp improves /enhances sound or degrades it? Thank you very much for your consideration.
