Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??


I'm getting the itch for a ring clamp, i.e. Wayne's Audio. He has one that works on my JVC-Victor TT81's big tapered surround. this or the other simple one, no extra weights

Seems like a smart thing to do, mt TT81 Spinner ought to have no problem with extra weight.

Positives?

Negatives?

Problems Encountered?

Sources?

as always, thanks,

My hand was damaged in an auto accident, I don't have the greatest dexterity to perfectly center it every time, or stand watching to see if properly centered, or extreme caution with stylus drops.

I drop close to the outer edge, gives me time to get back, sit, lift beer glass to ear!, sounds annoying, keep it where ...

Fact is: I thought I would get many who said:, oh hell yes, better sound, do it, do it do it.

Instead, most mentioned warps, not my concern.

I have a VPI with center weight and peripheral clamp......none of my 100's of records experience warp problems

Like the center weight, I assumed a perimeter weight would provide more stability to the lp on the platter as the stylus works against it.
