Search Amazon for "record weight"and pick one 8 ounces or less. I was surprised to find so many listings and just purchased a 5.5 ounce unit for $10 as I've yet to go that low in weight. If you observe a SQ improvement with a lighter weight then further experiment from there if you wish. How many here have experimented with 8 ounce (or less) record weights?

In general Making a motor work harder can only shorten its life. It’s never a positive thing in that regard for sure. Each case is unique. The benefits need to outweigh the disadvantages. Unless a table is explicitly designed and guaranteed to handle a certain amount of increased load beyond normal I would always proceed with caution. On the positive side, adding weight near the center spindle is less problematic than if added further from center. |
Heavy center weight and outer ring is my ritual. I never do without on my VPI Classic. I remember emailing someone at pro-ject about using a heavy center weight on their debut TT and he said NO, not can do, motor won't handle it. Always reference to manufacturer. If heavy center weight is not an option, simply use a clamp. I do that on my second TT, Pioneer PLX-1000.
