An excellently made, inexpensive, and simple to use clamp is made by J.A. Michell. It is of the collet variety, and is available in satin-finished aluminum or black delrin (I have the latter). It is commonly sold for about $50, and my previously clampless turntable setup exhibited much greater image focus, depth of field, and precision of transient attack with the Michell fitted. Of course, a clamp will also be of at least some help, and frequently of great help, in playing warped (within reason) records - very useful for those of us with much vintage vinyl!
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.
