KAB USA
RECORD HOLDING DEVICE
The KAB USA record grip was designed to replace and improve upon the PIG clamp originally supplied with the Revolver brand turntables. It features natural rubber material with a much wider footprint for better damping. This is especially useful on Rega brand turntables and others where there is very little spindle to grab on to.
The KAB USA record grip reduces resonance and acoustic vibration of the record itself, freeing the stylus to do its intended job of tracing the groove. The result is better focus and detail to the soundstage.
The USA record grip attaches quickly; by turning
with slight pressure, it "walks" down the spindle and meets the record surface.
Note: For easier use, the center hole can be lubricated with a dilluted solution of 5% Armor All® and alcohol, swabbed with Qtip®.
The built-in bubble level shows turntable level at a glance to within 1 degree
of accuracy.

SPECIFICATIONS
|
Natural rubber exhibits good damping qualities yet molds with surprising precision. The built in bubble level allows a quick check of turntable level. A level turntable balances the forces of the needle in the groove. When the needle is resting in the record groove, the entire record surface behaves as a microphone picking up vibrations from the air and the turntable below. Damping the record surface reduces the affect of these "added vibrations" to the needle's already difficult job of reading the groove. |

GREAT FEATURES
|
The really great features to take note of with the KAB USA record grip is the ease of use and cost effectiveness. The USA grip is the least expensive record clamping product on the market today. Yet it is quite good at what it does and even has the added benefit of showing level at a glance, each time you use it. Keeping with the KAB philosophy that more is better, but it needn't cost more! One issue to be sensitive to is turntables with light floating spring suspensions. You will have to push down some while applying the USA grip. It does not rely on weight.(it only weighs 3 Oz) Be sure your turntable can "Bottom Out" safely. If this is a concern, consult your turntable maker first. [ In our opinion, if you can "bottom out" safely, the USA grip is a better solution still over clamps that rely on weight, since they will change the operating height of your platter. ] |
