Although I've never tried this, it sounds like it would work well. Take an appropriately shaped piece of leaded crystal (give it some thought - only a few shapes will work) and fill it with melted paraffin wax. Once it fully cools, carefully locate the center point in the wax and drill a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the turntable spindle. A dealer told me about this homemade clamp. He's a dealer for VPI, Wilson/Bensch and Black Diamond and he claims that the crystal/paraffin is clearly superior to any clamp he carries. It sounds fairly easy to make and it should be low cost, say $50. I imagine you would have to regularly "recast" it due to wear and tear at the center hole.
RECORD CLAMPS HELP
Hello there, I could really use some help from those with experience using record clamps. Could you refer to me a clamp for use with a spindle that is NOT threaded. Are you under the belief that a clamp improves /enhances sound or degrades it? Thank you very much for your consideration.
