(More customer reviews)I bought the Bren1 Record Clamp mostly for the aesthetics.
Just about all the expensive turntables in ads seemed to be wearing these
weights/clamps and I thought they looked real cool. Maybe it could make my own humble setup look better. The Bren one as inexpensive as it is, was one of the better looking clamps on the market. Now don't get me wrong I understand the thinking behind the reasoning of the purpose (that didn't make any sense)but like so much in the audiophile realm I figured there was a lot of snake oil lubricating the pitch. The sales pitch.
To quote the famous philosopher Ricardo Montalbán (as personified by Billy Cristal)"I rather look good than feel good". A quote I thought was very apt for the Bren1. And boy does the Bren1 look good.
But along the way I also found out that it also "feels good". To be more precise it makes you feel good. You feel good when you put on a record and you begin to notice how much tighter every note seems. How the highs are a little more airy and the bass is ever so more detailed and controlled. And then comes the day when you forget to put the clamp on and you find yourself wondering if you forgot to clean your stylus or maybe you have a loose cartridge lead. Something is wrong. And than you notice you left the clamp off. That's when I became a believer. Hey hey for The Monkees! (I couldn't help myself).
Will recommended to any one willing to listen.
