I have had good luck with TTWeights; there are so many and so many different methods that it is hard to say anything general. Harmonix makes one that costs $3000; I have not seen one nor expect to although I am a dealer for them. If your table has a good bearing I would not worry about the increased weight of the heavy ones, the really heavy ones are a real handful to put on and off. At the low [ reasonable] end I would use heavy brass; higher up there are, as I said, many ways to go. I have wanted to try the Pierre Lurne but they don't answer emails at the address given in the online review, 6Moons I think. Bren is a good cheap one. I think it all depends on the individual system and your taste.
Records weights or pucks -heavy or light?
There is quite a variety of record weights or pucks on the market now, with a huge range of weight, from as little as 160g up to 1200g and more. I'm not confused about the wisdom of using a clamp or weight. I AM confused as to how to choose a good weight for my turntable, a Pro-ject Xperience belt drive. I already have a screw clamp, but a slip-on weighted puck is much easier and quicker to use.
Leaving aside the issue of sprung tables, where heavy pucks can be problematic due to the suspension, does anyone have wisdom re light weight pucks versus heavyweight pucks, puck material and the resonance damping of the record?
