Bill Hanna!  Dan Rai here (silver k100rs) -- met you at Gary's shack!

Totally agree with what you said about Al Vangura -- the man is all kinds of cool!

+1 on the recommendation for reflex clamps.  Pretty sure SOTA still sells theirs.

I use the TT Weights heavy weight clamp, along with the TT weights outer ring and I do find it does help on my VPI Classic TT

Weight: http://www.ttweights.com/catalog/item/6997332/7020315.htm
Outer Ring: http://www.ttweights.com/catalog/item/7935340/8537769.htm

When I try and use both on my Music Hall 5.1 TT, I find using just the centre weight works best.

Small world, isn't it!
Yes, I remember you well. You used to run over to Cleveland for their chapter meetings. I talk with Ralph all the time.
My old '85 K100RS is doing fine.

Had no idea you were an audio geek, too! You must come over soon, I'm still in Mt Wahington.

So correct.  If your record needs a clamp, you need a new record.

Don't even get me started on cables....  Miles of overhead lines, 100 feet of wire into house, 30 feet of inside wiring... and your "magical" 3 foot 120V interconnect is going to make something sound better?  LMMFAO!!!!

Bill, as a mathematician and a scientist, I've come to the conclusion that I will not, do not, and shall not discuss cabling and other highly sensitive topics.

You're opening up the proverbial can of worms, my friend.

I am will Bil - up until the low level signal begins moving from board to board, then amplified and sent to speakers.  There expensive cables can make a smal but noticeable difference, IMO.  That said it will be cold day in hell before I pay $4K for a pair of Audioquest Sky interconnects.

LOL  Thanks for the warning.  No can of worms for me.   ;D

The only sensitive thing about AC cabling is who makes money off the suckers.

Even at the meeting last Saturday, when it came up, I made awkward faces and turned away.
