In this video, Jason discusses six excellent examples of record weights and clamps that help improve stability while adding beneficial weight/pressure to your vinyl records as they play. Adding a record weight or clamp to your turntable set-up help reduce wow & flutter, promote more consistent tracking, improve speed consistency, permit better contact with the platter, and an overall improved aesthetic appearance. Jason explains the options for different spindle types so that you can choose the correct clamp for your turntable. Stay to the end to be amazed by the VPI One-Piece Delrin Clamp, which virtually flattens a severely warped record!

Don't think the sound quality is relevant but if it improves warps then well worth it.

1. The only thing they add is wear to your bearings. 2. They add virtually zero inertia to the platter, the weight being concentrated so close to the spindle. So zero effect on speed stability. Get a better PSU. 3. Records on a felt or rubber mat don’t slip, you don’t need a weight to prevent slippage. 4. Suspended subchassis turntables shouldn’t use weights, it wrecks the suspension setup. 5. If you put a clamp on a turntable you have to switch it off every time you turn it over. Not only is it a faff, it adds wear to the motor. 6. Clamps/weights have zero impact on warp unless the platter is significantly dished, in which case the azimuth angle will be off, degrading the sound. 7. If a lump of metal makes the turntable look better, buy a different turntable. 8. Manufacturers spend years, sometimes decades, refining the designs of their turntables. If they could flog their customers a lump of metal at a significant cost, claiming a sound improvement, don’t you think they would all be in on the act? As you may have gathered, I believe record clamps are the worst kind of modification you can attempt on a turntable. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against tuning to remove parts the manufacturer had to fit as part of the cost/performance compromise, but clamps are not the answer.

Excellent response. I find this type of snake oil sales really annoying

Won’t the weight slow player down

There is no difference. The placebo effect is all powerful. If you want and expect to find a difference, and paid good money for it, you will hear it. You need to take a double blind/AB test, if you dare.
