    Ariston RD40 turntable
    Have a few questions about the above turntable=
    I bought it several years ago,second hand and it did not come with the record clamp......i know its the model that uses it as it has a thread on top of the spindle......My questions are=
    1.Do i really need the clamp?
    2.Will it improve the sound Quality?
    3.If so,where can i get one?
    I have read that weighted clamps strain the bearing but it doesnt look that big on this one..was thinking of buying a 1 pound centre weight.
    Any thoughts?
