Record weights what type would be good for a Luxman PD171-A


I recently purchased a Luxman PD171-A TT and am really happy w/it. A big jump from my 1986 Linn which gave me many tears of enjoyment. But using a record weight on a Linn is not recommended. I'm not sure if a record weight is beneficial so I'd like some feed back. They come in a variety of weight's and prices so if I go for one I don't want to hurt the motor. I checked my owners Manuel and there was no mention of using a record weight at a specific weight. Prices vary too. The last one I saw was at the extreme the Acoustic Signature Silencer which was 1K and weighed 1.6 lbs. I'd like to try something at a sane price.

Another vote for Stillpoints LP1. It  has weight to it but it is also designed to stop the vinyl from vibrating from stylus friction. The result is clearer sound with less distortion in the highs. It replaced the VPI record weight that came with the HRX.
