TT Weights VPI center clamp


I was jus wondering, does the TT Weights VPI screw down clamp damage th record label in any way when it is tightened?

The original VPI clamps outer part does not move when tightened. only the center screw part moves so the label is not damaged. Other after market clamps for VPI seem to also use this method, and for the same reason.

The TT Weights clamps look real nice, but I am worried about label damage when using them. Can anyone with real experience please chime in?

I don't think so, I just bought 2 of them for my VPIs. Since I am a VPI dealer I will confine myself to saying that the clamp is not my favorite VPI product. If you are worried go with a record weight instead of a clamp. I have not used them long enough to check long term effect, but then at 70 long term doesn't worry me like it use to. I tried both the aluminum and brass ones and they do sound different. I tend to like the sound of brass or copper, I was using one of their 2.3 lb. weights before I bought the clamps and am now alternating them with it. If all my labels fall off I'll let you know.
