Know before you buy
The I-Clamp stabilizes the record against the platter, which minimizes micro-vibrations and resonance during playback. This increased stability allows the stylus to track the grooves more accurately, resulting in better detail retrieval and clearer instrument separation.
The I-Clamp is designed for broad compatibility with most standard turntables. However, it is best suited for players with a threaded or standard spindle that allows for a secure grip.
The combination of aluminum, brass, acrylic, and Delrin is engineered to dampen unwanted vibrations across different frequency ranges. Each material contributes to a neutral, stable interface that prevents the clamp from adding its own coloration to the sound.
Simply place the clamp over the center spindle once your record is on the platter. Ensure it is seated firmly to create a tight coupling between the vinyl and the mat, which is essential for achieving the intended sonic improvements.
The I-Clamp is precision-engineered to be lightweight enough to avoid putting undue stress on standard belt-drive or direct-drive motors. It focuses on mechanical coupling rather than relying on excessive mass to stabilize the record.
