record weight .... correct weight?


Searching in the web, there is a wide range of weights for what we put on top of our records, goes from as low as 200grs to 3 pounds .... why those differences? is 3 pounds really necessary?,what should be the correct weight for this devices and why?, I would like to know your ideas about this matter.
thanks in advance

I use a Mitchell "Rega" weight/clamp (Linn table) which requires the user to apply downforce before screwing down the clamping mechanism knob, thus making the whole operation somewhat random relative to actual force applied. Still, it works.
I'm really not sure the Mitchell weight does much as my table sounded fine without it, but it was an inexpensive tweak that makes me feel like I care so I use it anyway.
