TT weight for a Rega P-5


Any need for this? Waste of money or a sonic improvement? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Frank_sm - thank you for the correction. I now have a P7; traded up from my P5. For warped LPs I do use a Michell clamp for Regas and have found it does help tremendously. As stated above, stick with the Rega felt mat. If you feel you must make a change, get a colored rega mat. :)
I believe that you should contact Larry/TTweights and inquire.He may have a money-back policy ,if not satisfied.
The middleweight might be a place to start.Interesting clamps that appear to be reasonably priced.
Despite Roy Gandy's always iconoclastic advice to avoid anything additional to
his bare bones approach, including better cables, or even cleaning your records,
I do recommend trying different mats and a weight or clamp, and not just to
flatten warped discs; and I'm also a Rega dealer. Bear in mind that the spindle
on the Regas are short and tapered at the top so many clamps will not have
enough to grab onto, so a weight may be easier to impliment. I have used my
lead clamp from my Maplenoll table just as a weight on Regas and found it to be
an improvement. Also, if you use the dust cover during play be careful that it
clears the clamp/weight. IME, there are often advantages and disadvantages and
it comes dwon to a matter of tastes or priorities.
