VPI Periphery Ring With Clearaudio Performance

Is there any reason I can't use the VPI ring with my Clearaudio Performance? If it just fits over the edge of the record and uses the weght of the ring to hold down the disc, why can't I?

The price of the comparable Clearaudio ring seems outrageous.

The only possible problem is centering the ring. Records are not always punched with the hole dead center. So using a weight around the periphery could make this "wobble" more pronounced, affecting speed stability.

Please let us know how it works for you and if you have any problems or insights to its use. Did you buy that 100% brass ring that was being sold here?

Thanks,
Bob
