> 24 hourWell did it help anything this weight? Lots of folks say yeah but I hear nothing different. Maybe it does help some turntables? But I do like it because it has indents on two sides and now I can see that I left my manual turntable on without getting up and looking at it from the top! My wife laughed and thinks Im crazy for this purchase, but what does she know she married me! :)

> 24 hourPlaying a record is a bit of a ritual for me as Im sure it is for many of you. This adds another step to the ritual that makes it all the more satisfying. If the felt on your platter is good quality with enough grip, I dont really think this product to be necessary in most cases. The only instances when it seems beneficial is if you have a slightly warped record or if the pressing is cheap/light weight. The extra weight from this product can flatted a warped record and stop a light weight one from dragging. But if you have a dragging record, youve also got quality issues with your stylus or your record player altogether. Once again, I think it is a nice, but not a necessary addition to my setup.

> 24 hourI have tried 4 record weights and 2 record clamps (see photo), ranging from 7 oz to 22 oz, and this 8 oz weight from Hudson HiFi, known as the Space Ben, is by far the most accurate sounding, meaning it’s unique design is doing its job of stabilizing the record on the platter and isolating it from unwanted vibrations. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourThis adds weight and gravity to the record culminating in the a stable playback and a deeper sound reproduction. Although subtle at first, it will become a must use going forward for all your vinyl playback.

> 24 hourQuality is excellent, speedy delivery. Ive been an avid audiophile and videophile spanning over four decades. My 5000+ record collection is benefiting immensely. My Linn turntalble, Akito arm and Linn cartridge already create a nice synergy. The missing link was the lack of a nice machined and heavy record weight. After using leather cement to bond the leather cut out to the base of the weight, placing it over the spindle in the perfectly centered hole. The weight of the clamp assures that the record bonds to the platter which resultantly lowers the noise floor. This opens the soundstage, and the inky black background created by this bond, allows the quiet higher register nuances of the recording to shine. Vast improvement to an already nice sounding table. Id always had clamps which, when purchasing my high end turntables from American turntable manufacturer, VPI. MY budget LINN rig is producing 90% of the high quality reproduction of treasured vinyl that Ive collected since 1967. 90?% of the quality I achieved with a budget table and it almost competes with a rig that retailed for 23k. Not bad at all. If you are like me and love the romanticism of kicking back in a dimly lit room and the record fills the dark room with music and you close your eyes and drift away along with the troubles we often find in modern life. Sheer bliss. Buy this clamp!
