Kidding aside I've only once used a clamp (friends Well Tempered)...

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.
