Tonar Record Weight Stabilizer Black

Any vibrations in the record during playback will be picked by the cartridge and will be reproduced by the amplifier and speakers causing muddy sound, distortion and reduce detail. In order to avoid record vibrations you must make certain that the contact between the record and the platter is perfect. Also many of the older manufactured records are warped. Some more, some less. This causes big problems for the diamond stylus of the cartridge to track the grooves properly. The stylus pressure fluctuates as the stylus moves up and down while trying to track the warps. With bad results: muddy sound reproduction with distortions and if the turntables drive isn’t really strong… audible flutter. In some cases the stylus may actually loose contact with the groove causing a hissing sound. Take care that the platter bearing of your turntable is able to accept the additional weight of 760 g!!! If in any doubt please consult your record player instructions or your dealer before buying or using this weight!

It's a high quality weight and if you got warped vinyls, it really helps (not only the needle, but the general sound improvement which can be heard). Beware, at 760 grams, the weight is quite heavy, so for a cheaper, lower-quality turntable, it might not really be the best choice - in those cases, a clamp might be a better choice. Direct-drive turntables should have no problem, however - and higher quality belt-driven ones should be fine, as well. For a serious turntable (Pioneer PLX 1000, for example or any Technics out there) with a high torque, it's more than fine.
