View Full Version : 401 transit clamp question
Hi
Just wondering if there are any benefits to not removing the transit clamp completely from the 401 when it is in use (besides not losing/ misplacing it!). Thanks in advance.

I dont have a 401 but i removed the transit brackets on my Jap deck. Just put in a small bag & taped it to the back of the baseboard..
I have used a 401 since my early twenties, I’m now 69. Why would you want to remove the transit clamp? I can’t see any benefits in removing it!
Mike.

Some report the deck sounds better without it.

Ok, but I assume no negatives in terms of performance if it is removed?

Just remove it, your deck will still work. It may be beneficial removing the clamp as it may transmit vibration in the platter.
