Pro-Ject Clamp It Record Clamp (Silver)

The media could not be loaded. Upgraded to the acrylic platter and needed a clamp. A weight didn't cut it. This functions nicely. It clamps to the spindle and keeps the record stationary against the platter. It seems well built. While a bit pricey, it has some nice detailing. Watching it spin is quite hypnotic.

This is more of a stabilizer than a clamp. It doesn't screw down, but rather you press firmly to the record and twist the knob to hold it in place. A true clamp would have a threaded screw-down system and a small washer under the record to cup/force the disk down flat on the platter...not what this ClampIT does... However, this little stabilizer works well. When used with the LeatherIT mat, it really tightens up the bass and brings the HF into sharp focus. A must for users of the Pro-Ject Classic EVO turntable package. Should use with the Leather IT platter mat as well.

I considered a lot of different record clamps before choosing this one. Pro-Ject is well respected as a manufacturer of turntables, and an audiophile friend encouraged me to give this clamp a try. It turned out to be a great product, and though a bit expensive is worth its cost IMO. It’s relatively light weight, clamps the disc firmly to the platter, and most importantly improves the audio signal in subtle ways: bass is just a bit tighter; midrange (especially vocals) has more presence with a wider/deeper soundstage, and treble has more clarity. All-in-all, I find that there is an overall improvement in the listening experience with it as opposed to not having it before.

The clamp would not even go on the turntable spindle to hold the record down. I thought to modify it but it was too difficult and I did not want to damage the unit. Sadly, I had to return it. Maybe others will have better luck with it. It looks very nice and probably would've been great to see it spinning but that opportunity never occurred.

A really nice-looking clamp but does need a little maintenance before it works properly!!! For one thing when I first got it the tightening clamp was too small and did not fit onto the turntable had to take a pair of needle-nose pliers and wide in it then works fine but still I could not tighten it without really putting Force into it so then I threw a little turntable oil on to the outer screw and the inner clamp now it works perfectly is it overpriced probably but looks nice does a great job so for me it's a keeper😀

It works like it is supposed to. It will hold the record down without adding weight and stress to the bearings. For the high price I would have expected a nice container. Nothing to store it in. Overpriced, but it works.

You could pay more for one, but this one functions great! It’s also a good look on the table! The weight is good also!

There are much cheaper ways to clamp a record, but if you have Pro-Ject turntable and like the look of this, it works well and adds minimal weight. I don't know that it would flatten a warped record, but it does prevent slipping with a matless acrylic platter.
