I've tried both weights and Michell clamp.
I found the clamp had a sucking of the music effect on the Techie.
My approach has always been simply no heavy weights and to just trust my ears.
This has proven the best by far, doesnt add or take away really, just ever so slightly tightens things up a bit to my ears.
