TTWeights New Mega Ring vs Copper Ring

Hello, I recently purchased the new TTWeights Mega Ring for my VPI TNT turntable. I would like to share my results. First, last year I purchased the TTWeights Heavy copper ring. It blew away the VPI outer ring hands down. Big improvement in sound across the whole spectrum. A few week ago I was at the TTWeights website and read about their new outer ring that they had come out with. Sounded very interesting with a new design and new alloy/brass base metal. I received it a few days ago. WOW! Let me say this, I do not have golden ears but the sound difference is amazing! This new alloy ring brings out even more detail than the copper ring and the reduction in background is astounding. All I am hearing now is the music. Anyone else?

The centering ring never touches the record, it clears inside by .5 mm, the disk locates on the top face of the ring. The disc has a bored clearance to clear the record.
This was designed from the beginning.

It does center the Outer Ring to the centerline of the turntable which is critical for runout and weight distribution and the accuracy is remarkable.

The newly developed ALLOY ring is as good and some say better. Read this blog posted regarding the 480 Ring.
This is WITHOUT the brass dampening and please note the brass dampened rings easily outperforms any other ring in all blind tests.

Copper has tripled in price as would the price of the copper ring and we are trying to keep the price affordable by making an alternative and superior product.

I do not think I would pay willing to pay $800.00 plus for a copper outer ring

The new rings have more clearance and thus they now fit ALL VPI Platters.
