I'll just put the umbrella up

The conventional wisdom seems to be that one should not use weights on suspended tables. I also thought I read that Herbie does not recommend using clamps on his mat. I did both. Hmmm. As I said below, the side effect seems slightly positive and there is no apparent downside from what I can gather. On the Thorens website they state quite clearly that this weight is suitable for all Thorens tables.

I thought about other clamps, but really wanted the look. So with the adjusted suspension I gather it can do not harm.

Have you thought about these Achromats from The Funk Firm? You can either replace the platter altogether or use one of them as a mat. The first is rather extreme and they won't fit a Thorens I guess, but they seem to be getting good write-ups. I am happy with my Herbie's Mat so won't be changing, but the theory behind Achromats sounds solid.

Hartelijk groeten Freek,
