Question 1

Will this work on a project debut carbon? does it help to track off centre vinyl?

Accepted Answer

It will work on a project debut carbon. It will not make a difference to the tracking on off centre pressing but is a great help for warped records as it forces the record to make even contact with the platter all round.

Question 2

Is this suitable for a Thorens deck?

Accepted Answer

Although I never owned Thorens decks, I think it should be suitable. Before buying just make sure your spindle is not too short as it needs to clamp securely on to it.

Question 3

What is the diameter and weight?

Accepted Answer

The diameter is almost precisely 880 mm or just under 3.5 inchesIt leaves a guessed length of 6/7 mm of outside label uncovered on my 12 inch vinyl. but I can't measure this.The item weighs 2.5 oz - measured with digital cooking scales so not super precise. Another thing is that I never use the felt ring included. On the rare occasion I use this clamp I simply remove the large felt disk off my platter and place the vinyl on the glass platter before applying the clamp, which works fine. The little felt ring your supposed to use instead of your large felt/cork disk is useless, to me at least, by all means try it though.Bear in mind my platter is 100% flat and has no grip or ridges etc. i wouldn't use on a textured sufficed platter. There are no rough edges where it makes contact and has a mat/smooth paint.I do not understand how it actually clamps, can't explain it, suction? but it does. Sometimes it takes 3 attempts to get it to clamp but it works very well when you get used to it. The very few times it did pop off when I first bought it, it only jumped a tiny amount and didn't leave the spindle, talking about a 2mm pop height? Also, so far to my experience, if it is going to pop, it will do so as soon as the platter begins to spin.I find the best way to use it is to push with all five fingers around the edge where it slopes in an even pressure, and with your free hand, use index and thumb to turn the knob at least half a full turn, I often do 180 deg' x2 or even x3 (1 full and a half).I'm replying with as much detail as I can because it took me about 5 uses or more before I could put it on first time.. Which now I nearly always do.This should help haha, will gladly answer anything else you want to know.

Question 4

Does this work on the Sony HX500?

Accepted Answer

If the spindle is the standard height and diameter, the it should work.
