Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight

I think it's important to note that these devices work differently in every individual set-up. IE: differing TTs, in association with varying platforms etc... IMO, there is no ONE "best" record weight clamp that will work equally well in the majority of the differing systems out there.

Ttweights: You aren't considering potential customers like myself who use an ET arm. (Why are we the forgotten ones?) There is a compatibility issue regarding having the clearance for the products you offer as well as other issues.

I will reiterate that one clamp/weight isn't necessarily the best for all situations.

I see that comment as a logical end to this discussion. It does require a significant investment in order to find out for yourself. If you are in to vinyl in a serious way, and after evaluating your system's needs, if you conclude that a device of this sort will possibly be of benefit, you need to experience one for yourself.

I have a Brinkmann La Grange turntable that has its own screw-on clamp. I auditioned the Stillpoint weight and instantly heard a considerably tighter and deeper bass - so it was a no brainer- like night and day.
Another benefit is not having to faff about screwing clamp down and getting into problems with over tightening etc - although that's just a side issue. Sonically the Stillpoint massively improved my Brinkmann.

Slaw: We have attempted smaller diameter outer ring but the machining borderlines on impossible, we used to make a small diameter ring but had to stop production. We made more bad ones than good ones.

cool video of the stylus in a groove:

Consider the stylus and an outer ring simply works and makes sense.
