Has anyone used a turntable weight or clamp while recording an l.p or 45. If so is there any benefit by using such a thing?

I'm not familiar with the device. Is it a way to force the record to be flat ?

Hello Mark, From what I have read it improves the sound of the music played. If you have 5 minutes to spare have a look at the soundfountain site this will explain allComment

Hello Folks, I have made a weight and tried it out on Beethoven Moonlight sonata, it seems to brighten the music quite a bit there is not so much noise from the record as there was before using the weight. It weighs in at about 350 foriegn things ans is solid alluminium. can someone else try itComment

I looked at the information about the turntable weight. It looks like the clamping effect from the weight would help if the record wasn't flat. However, I do not know if the speed of the turntable is better or worse with the extra load placed on the motor.
