These lightweight rubber pieces hold reels on tape decks. They fit a TT spindle. Seller says new. Note: the inside hole is 1/2" deep, is your spindle less than that when LP is on?
IF you have a long spindle, these will work
What record weight for Rega RP10
I have the RP10 and not sure whether the bearing on this table is even designed to work with or can accept the load of a record weight. I have a the ClearAudio clamp but can hear no discernible advantage with it, plus I am concerned about applying pressure to the bearing when using it. There so many record weights available and I am just a little cautious as I have called The Sound Organization but haven’t been able to reach anyone willing to provide an answer.
So has anyone with a Rega table found a record clamp that works well with your table?
Thank you in advance

theo OP I have a few reel to reel tape decks, and a box of parts, including a few of those rubber reel holders. It’s out because I was showing it to a friend with a Luxman PD444 which has a motor that partially lifts the platter off the bearing surface. You would not want a heavy hold down on that player. I use a heavy Audio Technica Weight on my JVC Victor TT81, those DD’s are beasts. Many LP’s need the center pushed/held flat, I would use the lightweight rubber holder as a matter of course. Surprisingly many of the 180 gram LP’s I buy come slightly warped, and need their center held down. I bought the Wayne’s Outer ring to add perimeter solidity, unfortunately the wide/raised/sloped edge of the JVC spinner just touches the bottom of the ring's weights.
It’s on the porch, I gotta sell it, I keep forgetting. |
theo OPfor you, or anyone concerned about weight, the light rubber gizmo is very light, it just grips the spindle, no weight at all really. |
