What record weight for Rega RP10


I have the RP10 and not sure whether the bearing on this table is even designed to work with or can accept the load of a record weight. I have a the ClearAudio clamp but can hear no discernible advantage with it, plus I am concerned about applying pressure to the bearing when using it. There so many record weights available and I am just a little cautious as I have called The Sound Organization but haven’t been able to reach anyone willing to provide an answer.

So has anyone with a Rega table found a record clamp that works well with your table? 
 

Thank you in advance

Drbond. I did try an HRS platform under the table and it did sound really good, but it was to big and sold it. I planned to get another HRS in smaller size but then tried the Symposium Segue and ended up buy it as it seemed to be a more vivid than the HRS however it has presented a footfall issue. I realize that is 90% floor and until I can get the floor reinforced I won’t make a decision on what to do. I broke a shoulder a year ago and just had it replaced so construction projects are on back burner for a while. 
 

tablejockey. I would agree that buying the Alpheta would be a optimal way to go, but I am using a Kleos and have it set up pretty darned good. I shimmed it according Jonathan Carrs recommendation and set the cartridge with a Dr feikert as best as I can. Although a new phonostage is on the horizon but not sure what I can afford, but want to try the Rogue Ares II Magnum or a Sutherland, unfortunately I have yet try these two out.

I have a few reel to reel tape decks, and a box of parts, including a few of those rubber reel holders. It’s out because I was showing it to a friend with a Luxman PD444 which has a motor that partially lifts the platter off the bearing surface. You would not want a heavy hold down on that player.

I use a heavy Audio Technica Weight on my JVC Victor TT81, those DD’s are beasts.

Many LP’s need the center pushed/held flat, I would use the lightweight rubber holder as a matter of course. Surprisingly many of the 180 gram LP’s I buy come slightly warped, and need their center held down. 

I bought the Wayne’s Outer ring to add perimeter solidity, unfortunately the wide/raised/sloped edge of the JVC spinner just touches the bottom of the ring's weights.

It’s on the porch, I gotta sell it, I keep forgetting.

Ellliotnnewcombjr. Thank you but that adds a lot more weight which I have determined the Rega bearing might be damaged. Also I think adding the much weight could require more weight load on the motor.

but t appreciate your help

for you, or anyone concerned about weight, the light rubber gizmo is very light, it just grips the spindle, no weight at all really.

"I am using a Kleos and have it set up pretty darned good."

theo- the Lyra is on the same level as Apheta.

Arguably, not being fully optimized with a Rega arm?

"want to try the Rogue Ares II Magnum or a Sutherland"

You may not be hearing what the Lyra is capable of using a phonostage lower on the food chain <$2500 or so?

Tube(Rogue or whatever) can be a game changer to some ears.

Hagerman for just over $1K seems to get positive review as the "punches above it's  price point" box. I don't  know however, if there's enough adjustability to optimize your  Kleos?
