Will a record weight harm the motor in a direct drive turntable?
I've considered buying a record weight for my Denon DP-59L turntable, but I'm concerned that adding the weight would put added strain on the direct drive motor. Does anyone have experience or advice with this?
I just weighed the screw-on clamp from one of the SMEs, 355g (12.5oz). A tiny fraction of the weight of the platter (which I can't weigh: it swamps kitchen scales, bathroom scales are inaccurate and I no longer own a set of baby scales!)
