Clearaudio Outer Limit on SME 20?

Does anyone know if you can use the Outer Limit ring
clamp on an SME 20 TTable, and will it have any detrimental
effect on the bearing etc.

Of course actually trying the ring may yield a good result. I'd think SME would have given this a go over the years and offered one if it makes a difference on their tables...

I have a Bob Benn clamp for the SME 20, but that can be used with any table whose platter does not exceed the diameter of the record. I found it gave a much more stable, deep soundstage than without and eliminated any vestiges of vinyl resonance. I have an SME 30 now that it doesn't fit, so I will be selling it. On the SME 20, the spin up time is not particularly effected and the clamp weighs about 4 lb.
