Michell Record Clamp

Black-delrin light-weight record clamp, as used on the GyroDec. A superbly engineered, easy to use clamp that really makes a difference.

This device clamps the record to the platter. This flattens out the warps, and it also couples the LP tightly to the platter so that internal resonances can be drained away from the stylus, as if the LP effectively is of a much higher thickness and rigidity. A felt washer raises the LP at its center: under action of the clamp the record's playable area is then very tightly pressed down onto the flat platter, right to its edges.
