Record weight for Garrard 301
Agreed Glenn.Forgot to mention I have a hybrid cork and lead mat that has a cutout for the label.That is then where my felt washer goes, then record, then clamp. 
Record weight for Garrard 301
Mitchell make exactly that clamp Miller, used it for years.Comes with two different thickness felt washers to place under the record first.Works a treat and I think was about $45 or so online.I am still using it now on my 401.

Consider a Gold Note PH10 phono.Adjustment for just about everything on the fly from the front panel.Can connect 2 separate carts if required.Has massive gain capability so down the road you could investigate really low output MC carts.$1600 new, ... 
Your favourite music movie?
Have to update after watching this last night and was very impressed.Rocketman.Taron Egerton really nailed it as Elton and the storyline was well done indeed.Oh and the music was darned good to boot.Well worth a watch even if you do not like Elton...

Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
Pryso.I did indeed perform the test with cones down.However I also knew there were a couple of well used Amperex tubes in it as well.So I then decided to replace all 4 tubes with brand new Electro Harmonic tubes and test again but still with cones...

Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker!
I cannot disagree with the logic of cones down, HOWEVER as I stated in the OP, under my SS PH10 phono I could hear no difference.So I am more intrigued by that as much as to why they work so well in present orientation on the tube phono. 
Miyajima MADAKE experience
There is a Kansui on here now and a Madake on eBay.Both are 500 to 600 hours though so well used. 
Tool Fear Inoculum impressions
Agreed stereo5!I played it again this morning on my 2nd rig which has a sweet vintage Sanyo receiver at its heart and cranked the snot out of the volume.I think the louder it played the better effect it had musically.
