I had very good results some years ago with a SOTA clamp, and then I (unwisely) sold it. More recently, I used a Michell in conjunction with a SOTA vacuum. Both are reflex designs that work on unthreaded spindles. I now use a VPI clamp on an Aries, but of course that is threaded. I strongly share the belief of those others who report that clamping helps to couple the record to the platter.
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.
