The Lp goes on first, then the ring is directly lowered. I've never had a problem with the rubber bands around the ring either. Regarding costs, they are manufactured by the people who make those doors which seal rooms for Bio-industies. They've got to be perfectly round and perfectly-weighted. American workers make them as well--good for America--but American workers are expensive, too.
Installing a VPI stainless steel ring?
Frustrating to pay $600 and not get one lousy sheet of paper that explains how the thing works.
I expected that it gets intalled directly on the platter and has some sort of locking mechanism that you employ every time you put a new record on.... but apparently I'm wrong. Doesn't seem to sit on the platter very well at all.
Do you actually lower this thing on TOP of an LP?? I'm guessing yes, but would like the peace of mind of knowing for sure before I try it ....
Thanks again. I must have asked 20 noob questions over the past month....
