On top. Think the cork would be enough? I should give it a go.

Worth a try. You can do some A/B comparisons with different records to see if you can hear a difference.
If you can use it alone, you may have enough spindle to use your clamp.

My 1st system has the Mofi Ultradeck. The sound opened up and was more revealing. Wider soundstage with depth as well for the first time. More details and air between instruments. I think the Mofi brings a quieter background in general.
Conversely, the Technics sounded more closed in and darker when I've swapped it back in to the main setup. When I did that, I was using the same Grado Gold3 cart for comparison, so all things were equal in the comp.
That said, the Technics is still great and I'll never sell it. It does bass better, speed change is a breeze (not that Mofi is difficult) and I don't have to be as careful when using it. It scaled up with my other gear as that improved too, but it wasn't my endgame TT, and I came across a killer deal on the Mofi, so here we are.
Does it improve the sound?
I'm not sure I'd say improve. It seems to make it a bit deeper if that makes sense. I'm kinda used to it now. If anything it's subtle though. Not sure I could Pepsi Challenge it

Did you try this? Curious how it turned out.
When I took the rubber OEM mat off my platter and started using the Herbie's, the sound opened up a bit. A little tighter bass and clearer highs if that makes sense. Curious if the cork mat makes a difference too. Is the diameter of your cork mat big enough to fully cover the platter?

Yeah, I removed the mat everything is working and sounding just fine. The heavy rubber mat under my cork mat was likely a bit of overkill.

Do you have enough spindle sticking out for a clamp now?

LOL, I had hinges installed for about 2 months until I realized that the fact they won't open to the full 90 degrees is a problem.
I put the rubber stoppers back on the lid and went back to just lifting it on and off.
Now if hinges that opened the full 90 degrees existed...
No but I've had a border collie head a tennis ball 5 metres across a room which resulted in this... The little wanker

Here it is. The plinth is made of baltic birch and covered in rosewood veneer, but I routed out internal sections and filled them with a mix of lead shot and epoxy to add mass. The entire deck weighs around 60 lbs... footsteps are definitely not an issue!

I have a dust cover with working hinges but still make it a point to completely remove the dustcover every time I spin records. I find it more aesthetically appealing and don’t have to worry about it getting in the way during a listening session.
