Question 1

How is if that this really helps

Accepted Answer

This is a quality piece that helps hold your vinyl record firmly on the turntable. Better coupling gives you better sound reproduction. It also has a bubble level to confirm position.
A true value , especially if you have a good turntable.
Hope this helps. May God bless.

Question 2

Recently purchased this and it does not fit under the dust cover on my atlp60.  anyone have a solution for this or an alternative weight?

Accepted Answer

I agree with the reviewers that stated that you are better off with the dust cover off!  I would consider myself an audiophile to some extent, but that's because I'm a black sheep audiophile... I don't always agree with what the majority of so called audiophiles!  I have film and audio engineering degrees, have been into and have played music for 40 years, been in studios, have made a few EPs and actually did a lot of my own home recordings back in the day when Tascam used to make the 424 4-trk with 4 simultaneous track recording! And I'd also like to believe that I've got a fairly decent scientific background, I've also got some electrical background and most important out of all..... I've got common sense and a good ear, which all audio sound boils down to whatever you think sounds the best to you, no matter what anyone says or writes about in audiophile magazines! We don't live in a perfect world, OBVIOUSLY, and the majority of us do not live in perfect environments with perfect equipment and so on! MOST IMPORTANT... WHAT SOUNDS GOOD TO YOU!  But as far as your puck goes, if it's too late to return it, you can spend more money on another one, if you want to and can afford to drop another $20-$25 on a decent one.... if I were you, I would play my records WITHOUT the dust cover.... unless you have dust and animal hair or something like that flying around your place on a constant basis, you don't need the cover on during play and like other reviewers have mentioned, and what I also agree with, is the cover may add extra vibrations and micro sonics that could be transferred through your tonearm!  And if you are really concerned with the dust cover, they actually sell a tonearm with a little brush on the end that you mount to your plinth and it is set to rest nicely in front of your cartridge/needle and what it does is brushes the groove out just as your needle is about to read the information that is pressed into the groove!  So there's many options that you can choose from, but the vinyl stabilizer that you have is a very nice piece and instead of spending the money on a new one, I would personally spend the $25 on the extra arm with the brush on the end and that's actually cleaning the groove about 0.02 seconds before your needle hits that part of the groove and it works just like the tracking on your TT and stays in front of your needle the whole way!  Unless you live in the middle of a construction site.... I honestly don't see any reason for playing a record with the cover on!  Thank you and hopefully I gave you a more reasonable way to look at the situation?!

Question 3

Does it sit perfectly dead center on the platter?

Accepted Answer

It does on my turntable because the spindle is dead center.  I really like this record clamp.  Wish I'd had it years ago.

Question 4

Will this reduce skipping on brand new records?

Accepted Answer

I have found that skipping on brand new vinyl is from crap still on the vinyl after pressing. I clean every new record before playing and this has eliminated 100% of the skipping issues I had prior.
