Locus Design
The BasiClamp
The BasiClamp was designed as a lighter weight "little brother" to the DampClamp.
This innovative record weight/clamp is machined from a single piece of aluminum. The weight is designed to cover most of the record label, maximizing the effectiveness of the weight, and, in our opinion, offering a better sound than smaller weights. This design does require that one lifts the arm before it reaches the outer edge of the run-out groove so that your headshell doesn't potentially hit the weight, but this is a small price to pay for the sonic benefits.
This unique design helps couple the record to the mat, allowing more intimate groove/stylus contact. The weight is designed to add extra mass around the spindle, which aids in dissipating any micro-vibrations caused by the platter, stylus, or motor. The removal of spurious noise caused by the aforementioned allows the music on your precious vinyl to emerge from a background of silence unlike any you have experienced before.
In addition to the technology employed, the BasiClamp is a stunning mechanical design, which truly is a piece of industrial art. It has the same beautiful finish that the DampClamp has, please check the description of the DampClamp for more details.
Before purchasing, please check with the manufacturer of your TT to ensure that the bearing, motor and suspension are up to the challenge of the BasiClamp. If they are, you are in for a rare treat.
If your TT has an unusually (non-standard) tall spindle, the BasiClamp may not sit all the way on the record without the use of a record mat. Email us with the height of your spindle and we can check it for you.
