Thinking about adding a periphery ring to my setup to tame the mild warpages I seem to get from NM and even still sealed vinyl. Anyone using one in conjunction with the 1210M5G and if so, which brand or where did you get it? I've been led to believe that there may not be enough room with this table for the ring to clear the tonearm base; fact or urban legend? Anyone know? Thanks in advance.:thmbsp:

Which brand are you looking at? I have one of the old production copper rings from TTWeights (600 grams) and I use it on my Technics 1200 without problems.

i have no doubt that a ring would be a significant improvement, its in my consideration also but i do things slowly.
the ring can actually help with edge warps and overall record/platter contact in conjunction with a clamp. ttweights is a great source for these items at reasonable pricing.

I inquired about a new ring TTWeights is due to release and was given this reply:
The issue with the technics is the post interferes with the diameter of the ring, unless the table is modified. The ring is 13.52 diameter ring.
Unfortunately it will not fit , thanks for the inquiry
I then replied back and asked if they had any that would fit but did not receive a response to that email. I wasn't sure what my next step should be at that point, so I thought I'd ask around here and see if anyone was using a ring on their 1210.
