Oh dear! The world has no need of Shun Mook clones. By contrast, here is, as they say, one I made earlier: https://www.instructables.com/Zero-cost-Vinyl-Record-Clamp-Made-From-Upcycled-Pl/ I'm currently working on a wider one based on a peanut butter jar lid. It was Waitrose peanut butter, so...

I've always felt they can work with certain kinds of music on certain turntables. Paradoxically they seem to work well or best on cheap turntables, despite being associated with audiophile products. There should be reasons for this, but I won't speculate what they might be unless or until I can...

I'm sure you're right - I use weights myself on turntables with good torque. This project is a very recent undertaking and lots of stuff fails at the design stage. This idea certainly might, but I'd rather see that happen than have it fail in the marketplace. Thanks for your interest.

1. Yes, I have searched repeatedly, using several engines. Google isn't infallible. 2. Because I never assume there's no-one out there who knows more than I do. And you yourself said that there were 'loads' out there, so that knowledge can be shared, can it not? 3. I mention the Clever Clamp in...

Loads? Thanks, but that's just two, one of which is already mentioned above. I've actually looked thoroughly and haven't found 'loads', which is why I'm asking here. Can you in fact name any more of the 'loads' that you refer to? I'd find it very helpful. There are many that look like clamps...

Apart from the Michell clamp, the Clearaudio Clever Clamp and the Analogis, does anyone know of any other record clamps that actually have some sort of clamping action rather than just being weights?

I think certain kinds of music sound better on one or the other. For example, I prefer to listen to techno or anything electronic on vinyl, for some reason - it seems to 'humanise' it in some way. The one exception (usually) is ambient, when vinyl noise can actually spoil the music. I also...

Only up to a point...

One good way of drying records is by stacking them vertically with small tumblers supporting them in the centre on the labels - so tumbler, record, tumbler, record and so on. Just don't get over-ambitious with the height and it's best done in a safe corner of the kitchen - and not when there's...
