| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @mijostyn I did indeed download the RPM app and discovered my main VPI HW-19 tt runs around 33.64, while my Craigslist marketplace let-the-kids-use-a-turntable TT runs around 33.17. Without a dedicated clocking device, do all tt's vary in their s... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @bdp24 Yeah. That's what I have. | |
| New(er) artists to watch New (for me, at least) artists I’ve been digging lately:Dominique Fils-AimeBombay Bicycle ClubDavid Boswell | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed Oh, and while we're on the topic of record clamps, what justifies the Shun Mooks $5,000 record clamp? | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed The Herbie's mat has a white washer you fit on the spindle on top of the mat. That takes care of any center depression on the platter | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @lewm I provided no info because I needed no solution. I was just curious about whether a record clamp affected speed or not? My clamp is a VPI screw on clamp which I loosely tighten, though not overboard. | |

| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed Thank you both for your answers, topical and metaphorical both. they both help out, especially the one about the turntable platter getting up to speed, no matter what the weight. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bruce Cockburn, "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws" | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Heart, "Heart" (1985). A slightly compressed mid-80’s recording, but there’re way more nuances than expected, perhaps because it's an early pressing/promo copy. "These Dreams" just floats around me. | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? Interesting; I'm antithetical to the OP's MO of one-brand systems, and I'm really not sure why except that it seems too pedestrian. Which is a crap rationale, I realize. But I tend to get nervous if I have even two components made by the same bran... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? The CeLests are now on sale for $3995 as of 1.23.21. Also, you really can't go wrong with the Spatials. They're pretty amazing in every category. | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? That's what she said. | |
| Another subwoofer connection question @russ69 Thank you much. |
