If you are looking for a record clamp, there is also a nice one made by Nagaoka. It also has a chuck that hangs onto the turntable spindle, but presses on the label area uniformly with a disc. Various people make weights that would have the same effect and would be more convenient to use, but I don't like the idea of adding that much weight to the load carried by the turntable bearing.

Some turntables come with platter weights. Their suspensions are designed to operate best with the extra load. The Harman-Kardon T60/T65 turntables come to mind. Ray Chen princeton!tilt!chenr

But adding a massive weight to a turntable not designed for it can change the resonant frequency of the sub-chassis, thus creating more problems than it solves.
