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,

Elliott

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

"warps not my concern" but thats what a peripheral ring is for.

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.

My VPI came with the "ring" but I have as yet to use it. I am nervous about it damaging my $3,000 cartridge. I use a Stillpoints weight which works pretty well. Most of my vinyl is pretty flat. My turntable can certainly handle the extra weight of the ring and center weight if used.
