I have VPI HW-40 turntable which is direct drive. It came with a very nice weight and peripheral ring. I prefer to use the Stillpoints LPI weight. It is heavy at 848grams. The HW-40 is a beast and I seem no issue with this heavy weight. I have never used the ring FWIW.
Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights
I have a Pro-Ject X2B and am curious about turntable weights and clamps. I perused the web and discovered that, like so many audio related items, prices range from modest to stratospheric. What are your thoughts on clamps and weights? Do they provide a notable improvement in sound quality? Does price equal quality? What should be avoided?
Thanks,
