What record weight for Rega RP10

theo OP

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?

Tablejockey. I have considered getting the Alpheta as it would eliminate any error in setting it up. I eliminate the shims and everything else falls into place. 
I currently use a Linn Linto for phono stage and really want to upgrade it but currently have been dealing with some health issues, so I haven’t been wanting to make the drive to the closest dealer to audition the Rogue. Unfortunately the Sutherland products aren’t represented locally so then I would have to do a mail order. I realize that Music Direct does a 60 day exchange, but I would rather A-B with one that is broken in. So that brought me to the question about the weight as that was an easy cheaper tweak. But I have come to the conclusion that it most likely won’t make any difference if any. 
so I guess that until I can go audition the Rogue and compare it to my Linn I will just have to wait.

thank you for your input
