Record weights 'n clamps: Audible improvements ?

I used a SOTA clamp with good results.

Sure, but as much as many are afraid to use them, a periphery ring is a must on many, many tables. Say goodbye to warped LP problems. Say hello to more definition and better bass in particular. Cheers,

I think upgrading to the screw-down clamp on my Gyro made a difference.

Unfortunately, I don't think the suspension of the Gyro can handle a periphery ring with enough weight to actually flatten out, say, dishwarped records. Maybe the really thin RCA Dynaflops? Anyway, never seemed like it would be worth the expense for the few Lps that are a problem.

I agree that using a clamp can be very beneficial.

My Basis table and clamp are made for each other, and they work great. And I rarely, (twice, maybe, in 8 years), have had a record warped so much that it affected playback.

The only drawback to the Basis clamps is that they are so $%#^$% expensive. (I think they are running $300 now, (if bought separately from the table.) Ouch! (I know they are very well made, but still, $300?)

My two cents worth.
