Classic Disc Stabilizers (Record Weights) like Micro Seiki ST-10 is what i use, actually i prefer OEM version made by Micro because it’s a bit lighter than 1kg ST-10. All my reference turntables are Direct Drives with metal mats (CU-500, SAEC SS-300). I don’t want to play records on metal mats without some weight on top. I use ST-10 Disc Stabilizer on Technics SP-10mkII turntable with Micro CU-500 gunmetal mat.
Some years ago i’ve discovered some rare Noritake NC-02 ceramic Disc Stabilizer from the oldest Japanese tableware manufacturer founded in 1904. Noritake Company was founded in the village of Noritake, a small suburb near Nagoya. In the 70s they made those Disc Stabilizers for audio market. I like NC-02 Ceramic Stabilizers, they are lightweight compared to Micro ST-10. The Noritake NC-02 mainly used on my Luxman PD-444.
I don’t use clamps or weights on my pair of SL1200mkII turntables with felt mats (slipmats), but it is not my main system.
