TT Weights VPI center clamp

I was jus wondering, does the TT Weights VPI screw down clamp damage th record label in any way when it is tightened?

The original VPI clamps outer part does not move when tightened. only the center screw part moves so the label is not damaged. Other after market clamps for VPI seem to also use this method, and for the same reason.

The TT Weights clamps look real nice, but I am worried about label damage when using them. Can anyone with real experience please chime in?

I use the VPI ring clamp. In e-mails with VPI and Elusive Disc, both indicated the ring clamp does the job of holding the LP down and flat. A spindle "device" can then be used for resonance control, but does not necessarily need to "clamp" the LP down or add additional weight. Doesn't mean you can't use a "weighted" or "clamping" spindle device, though.

On there recommendations, I chose to use the VPI ring clamp with the BDR The Clamp. Very pleased.
