Record Clamps?


How tight do these things have to placed on the record? I noticed one of my lighter colored labels is beginning to show a ring where the clamp contacts it.

Are there any heavy clamps that just rest on the record rather than screw down on the spindle?

Thanks,
Jay

I use the one made by HRS.
Works great, dampens better than my Basis clamp and works with vacume hold down. It should work on your table,it has no threads though.
I have an old SOTA reflex clamp and it works great, for for what it's worth.
Hi everyone. Has anyone else tried to use either a 10oz or 7oz hockey puck as a record weight? If so what were your thoughts on it and the sound you heard from your rigs? What table did you use it on? I'm trying to do the record weight on a budget until the TTWeight that is appropriate for my table are in stock.

Thanks in advance.
One thing I forgot to ask as well is how does one tell what the appropriate weight for the record weight should be? I've seen some record weights range from .76 lbs to sometimes a little over 3 lbs. Thanks again.
If you are going to use a hockey puck I would bar Canadians with long sticks from the listening area. The weight depends on the table; something like the VPI can use a very heavy weight, lighter tables might struggle with it. In theory the more weight the better as it should dampen better and increase the flywheel effect of your TT. In practice enough is probably enough; the 3/4s should work well; heavier might be better , possibly not.
