Bill-V8V Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 ... well maybe not completely different but it's not car related. This is what is known as a record clamp, those who still play LP"s may have heard of them. They simply add a little weight to "clamp" the record to the platter. Do they add to the sound ? That is open for debate but I like the way it looks so for me i'm happy with it. Anyways, it has been in use on my turntables for the last 4 or 5 years and was starting to look a little sad so I decided to give it the Adams treatment, started with Metal Polish #1 followed by detail spray and finished with a little glaze. Really sad looking After just one pass with the MP, notice the difference between the top and the base. Then again after 3 passes on the entire clamp And then back where it belongs, sitting on top of a little white vinyl Stevie Ray Vaughan And the full picture zapdon and mc2hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone, music and detailing go together really well. I've used Adams products to buff out more than a few dust covers too. Edited May 5, 2016 by Bill-V8V James__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a second 7270 to run them in mono or just get a 2500. Those Kappa 9's are known as "The AMp Killers" for a reason, they suck up power like black paint sucks up swirls lol Edited May 6, 2016 by Bill-V8V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I picked that Pioneer table, PL-540, for sentimental reasons, it is the same model as the first decent system I bought when I graduated from high school and started working for a living.

CMDChase Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Nice turnaround. I've played vinyl since I bought my first Beatles album over 50 years ago and never heard of one of those. Thanks for that. Edited May 6, 2016 by CMDChase Bill-V8V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have modified Dahlquist DQ10s. The Carver 350wpc is just about right. I have always loved the Kappas. You have a great system. I truly love it. Some day I hope to step up to some Mac stuff. You would like my direct to disc vinyl stash. I dont have a ton but a hundred including executive pressings made for Sheffield Labs that they only made 5 copies off. Some stuff I "lucked" upon on Ebay when a old employee was cleaning out their closet. I need to get out the polish for the Sota smoked top. It needs help. You have shamed me into it.
