Initially, I made the outside record weight for my Yorke turntable and it really worked well! I then machined one Michael Fremer and then one for the US importer of the Yorke turntables. As the result of word-of-mouth and AudiogoN, there are outside record weights all over the world, and the record weight has become an essential accessory for the Yorke turntable!
Because each record weight is machined for a specific customer's turntable, variations is configuration makes the outside record weight suitable for most any turntable.
The record weight works on improving the sonics of playing records in three primary ways: It acts like a flywheel and reduces the ratching effect of the drive motor; it flattens out records much like a vacuum hold down, minimizing the effects of record warpage; and finally it reduces the effects of mico-vibrations by enhancing the coupling of the record to the platter and/or the record mat.
Its ironic that I have spent 20 plus years in the Information technology / computer industry and am just getting a web-site. www.soundengineeringllp.com will be up and running by month's end. On the web site I hope to share information, as well as products, because while products make it all happen, in the final analysis, it's all about the music. In the meantime, I continue to sell my record weight on AudiogoN, the best audio web-site on the web, IMO.
