Record Clamp for Rega P5?

I have more info on the Michell Rega clamp. The clamp is a NEW item. Apparently the problem with them, at this time, is that they may be dificult to find as the demand is greater than the supply, and they may be on back order.
The ones I've seen pictured have the black knob.

I use a Clearaudio clamp on my P3 and it clamps the short spindle just fine.

Despite Rega believing that clamps don't make it sound better, I much prefer my P3 with clamp in place.

Right now I'm demo'ing the Locus Design DampClamp...

Although it should be noted that I don't own a Rega, I can hear a huge difference when compared to not using a clamp at all.

I can't imagine *not* using a clamp on a table. Period.

I would be very cautious about using a very heavy weight as opposed to a clamp on a Rega turntable.

I use a clamp that holds the record down by clamping on to the spindle.

The Rega tables have very very low torque motors and I'm not sure how long they would stand up to having several extra pounds to spin around. At the very least, if you're going to use something heavy, you should start the platter spinning with your hand before you switch on the motor so that the motor doesn't die trying to start that hefty weight spinning.

Like revdeg I also use the Souther Clever Clamp and like the results with my P25.
