Anyone use the J.A. MICHELL RECORD CLAMP

[vintageblog]

I have ordered a J.A. MICHELL RECORD CLAMP, Anyone have one. I like the fact it is light weight & clamps to the spindle. I am concerned about excessive wear on the spindle bearing. Let me know what you think. :thumbsdn: or :thmbsp:

It's a very low mass clamp that really adds no stress to your spindle. I have the original Michell that they mass produce the Internet selling version. Sonically there is so many advantages to using a clamp all the time.

How do I determine which version is right for a Pro-Ject Carbon with Acryl-It platter?

There is a universal clamp mitchell makes. I am using one on my exact same set up you listed. Works great.

Hi all, I might be a little off topic but, does any one know if I can use a J.A. Mitchell clamp on my Technics SL 1350 ?

They have two verions so get the NON REGA model.
Here is one on my SOTA Sapphire.

Literature says, if memory serves, you need 8mm above the mat to use the regular version and 5mm for the "R."

As to wear, the clamp, once on, doesn't twist. Shouldn't damage the spindle.

I've had one for several years on my Denon DP62L. Recommended.

Amend those measurements to "... above the record."
