I think 350g weight is perfect for any turntable, it's not heavy, most of the record weight are about 350g or less.
Sorbothane record weight?
I have an older b&o rx2 turntable that I am not comfortable putting much weight on, the spindle will probably not work with a clamp, and the tone arm is not adjustable so I am not interested in adding a mat. It occurred to me that maybe a "puck" that doesn't weigh much could be made out of layers of sorbothane sheets and used as a low mass "weight" to damp record vibrations. I have googled and searched forums and haven't found any hint that anyone has tried this.
Is this a really bad idea for some reason I cannot think of? I am certainly no expert.

A few record weight i've been using long time ago are on this image. The one on my SP-10mkII is a German Made for 30 Euro, the grey one on the left side designed not only for LP, but also for 45s (also nice and cheap). They are lightweight under 300g each. If you want the original look for Orsonic clamp that you can lock to your spindle. |
