All record weights the same ?

A good record weight is 180 grams.

Is 6oz heavy enough to hold down a slightly warped vinyl.

 Been using half a roll of solder wire as weight. 
  Will try the 6.3 oz one and see how it does.....

thanks

-Some of them are heavy like Micro Seiki ST-10 (900g), this is rare version for Audio Union (made by Micro).

-Some are optimal like Noritake (500g).

-There is something in the middle (between heavy and light) and in my opinion this is the best, it’s not just weight, it’s a clamp....... Look at this.

All of them are harmless for Technics! Replace your rubber mat with something like SAEC SS-300 and choose the weight you want. nice upgrade for Technics.

No they are not the same, shape is important (rounded the better), material is important (not ringing), weight is important (enough to hold firmly record down and not causing excess stress on some bearings). You may find that a threaded clamp would work better since you can adjust the downward force.

I can't quite read the brand name of my record clamp and the name I think is there, Belex, doesn't google up, But the device is lightweight and easily twist clamps to the spindle by compressing a rubber disc within. Yeah, it doesn't do much for edge warps, and if the LP has assumed a cone shape it'll only flatten it out when the cone is facing downward. I also have to support the bottom of my Sota's platter with one hand as I clamp the clamp down. But yeah, as far as I'm concerned it cleans up fidelity all around. Better imaging. Better transients. Less distortion. Better bass.
