In Reply to: I "started" out with an 8 OZ weight and probably should have tried a clamp... posted by DeKay on August 27, 2016 at 17:22:09:
Uncertain as to the model as this was maybe 6 years ago, but his TT had a bare platter (no mat).
It always sounded better with the clamp in use.
I had recently damaged my right wrist (hairline fracture), so did not bother with the clamp when he was not around (therefore the comparison).
I use an 8oz DIY weight on my listed deck (TD125/SME3009) and it always sounds better with the weight (even with flat/heavy 50's stock).
Wanted to try an even lighter weight (4oz, or so) but never got around to it.
The 8oz weight does not tax the TD125's motor/suspension, but I wonder if less is more, and or the same in this case.
I generally use a DIY cork spot mat, but occasionally a DIY wool felt mat.
