OK I’m going to try it and report back. Cheers for all the input. 🙏🏼
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
Anyone have any reason to NOT give this a try (besides the price)? Or anyone recommend an alternative? I have great weights/clamps/mats but definitely own a few thousand less-than-absolutely-flat records, and feel like it’s a shame to be missing contact.

Clearaudio Outer Limits is an alternative. I have one on a second system deck and it works dandy. The spider alignment tool is a bit quirky to use. On the main table I use a VPI Periphery Ring which works just dandy as it is designed to be used with their 12” platters. No experience with the Wayne’s Audio product although it looks very well designed. |
Au_lait, I have a mk3 too. The design of the platter and the way it sits deep in the chassis is not conveniently compatible with any peripheral ring. I’m sure you appreciate that as much as I. Be careful. On the other hand, I have the OEM peripheral ring made by Kenwood specifically for my L07D TT. I have tried it out a few times and concluded it has a slight negative effect on SQ even when I place the LP on top of, not under, the flange. (It’s scary to use it as it was intended in terms of risk to the cartridge.) As a result the ring sits in a drawer. |
@lewm Ahhhh ok that’s the intel I needed, thanks amigo you just saved me some money.
