Know before you buy
The Standard fitting is designed for spindles with a 6.5mm diameter, which is common on most turntables. The R fitting is specifically for 5mm spindles, often found on Rega turntables. Check your turntable's manual or measure your spindle diameter before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
No. The Michell Record Clamp is engineered to be lightweight, specifically to avoid adding unnecessary load to your turntable's bearing or motor assembly.
It is designed to flatten minor warps by securing the vinyl firmly to the platter. While it significantly improves tracking for slightly uneven records, it cannot correct severe physical damage or deep warps.
Delrin is used because its acoustic properties closely match those of vinyl. This helps dampen unwanted vibrations and resonance during playback, resulting in a cleaner, more stable sound.
No tools are required. The clamp is designed for simple, manual operation; you simply place it over the spindle and tighten the knob to secure the record.
