Anyone tried a record clamp on a Versalex? Just curious if anyone has any experience of using one?

Not recommended by the designer (WF). The delicate nature of the platter/spindle/bearing interface doesn't lend itself to clamping. Unless a table is designed with a clamp as part of the design package, ( like the earlier WT's) I'd leave well enough alone.

Thanks Mick. Understood.

I have tried a fairly light vibration damping record weight but quickly found that I prefer the sound of my WTA w/o the weight. The weight seems to deaden the sound which is something I definitely do not want. This is consistent with what I’ve heard on most of the other TTs I’ve owned/used over the years, only more-so on the Well Tempered.

Apologies for the delay.

Many thanks for your reply and your findings, much appreciated.
