Of course they can make a big difference. Certain clamps work with certain spindles (threaded, unthreaded) & different clamps sound different on various rigs. You have to experiment (or perhaps query the experiences of others). Many analog vendors such as Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, VPI, offer record clamps for various applications. The most expensive clamp won't necessarily work best; you must try them out yourself. The very heavy weighted clamps have been known to cause spindle/bearing wear on some turntables.
Where to find LP clamps?
Twenty years ago I remember there were clamps you could put over the spindle to secure/level a LP. I'm considering putting my turntable back into my system and I'm wondering where I can find these clamps if they're still available.
Anyone know where I might find these clamps and/or know if they really make a difference?
Thanks!
