Fluance HiFi Vinyl Record Weight Stabilizer High Mass 760 gram Steel LP Disc Turntable Accessory with Antiresonance Rubberized Coating and Protective Velvet Pad for Vibration Damping (RW03)

Great product. Second one is ordered. This one though served a more critical need; flattening a matt on the platter of a Technics automatic turntable with sensors for determining where to land for LP play. Without that weight, turntable would misread a LP as smaller 45rpm type record. With weight, compression of matt pressing record down on sensors , made it work properly. Not only is the weight functional but also quite attractive in its metal format. Seems a little pricey but it is high quality and fits snugly over spindle.

Nice weight with a solid construction and quality. Worked perfectly on one of my center warped records. Nice temp solution until I can repair. Natural vibration and hum was also a bit reduced.

I have the Fluance RT85 Acrylic Platter w/ Nagaota MP110 cartridge (bought from Fluance thru Amazon) and fell in love with my 20-30 year old vinyl after I had my records in storage for at least 10 years since my old Turntable broke and CD's got popular. BUT... as I got back into vinyl for the last 6 months (bought all the new cleaning toys, sprays, brushes etc), I noticed that my records would "slip" on the acrylic platter occasionally when I lightly applied the carbon fiber brush to remove light dust and electrostatic whatever. Then, if I decided to spritz a record brush with cleaner fluid and VERY LIGHTY let it drag on the rotating record, it would almost always slip against the acrylic and the record would slide on the platter until I lifted the pressure to almost nothing. I NEW THIS IS NOT GOOD. (I normally do a GOOD spray cleaning on the counter on microfiber towels but sometimes I want to do a light cleaning while the record is spinning). A rubber platter would certainly not do this, a cork platter mat would probably not do this... but the acrylic platter looks AWESOME but it's a hard surface and the vinyl does not stick well to it. Sorry, I wish I could say it somehow is better, but no.. it just LOOKS AWESOME and that's ok. So I bought this QUALITY record weight, its hole is dead center (I measured it) and it DOES NOT inhibit closing the Fluance TT cover. It is very shallow and wide and heavy. SOUND CHANGES: I kept playing the some 30 second pieces with and without the weight and this was what I found on my good and high quality, flat records: 1-NEW sounds!!! I listened to Grover Washington Jr Winelight without the weight and would pic out faint instruments that would become very clear and even pronounced with the weight. 2-More "space" or "room" in the song 3-The base is "tighter" NOT bigger or louder or deeper (sorry bass-heads) 4-See number 1 above: I can't emphasize enough how much cleared most instruments come through and some are totally new that I didn't even hear before. REASON: I assume that the vinyl record against the hard acrylic platter had a slightly uneven contact that caused resonance that was picked up by the needle and it "warmed" or rounded the bass or lower notes and the mid sounds and other nuanced instruments got lost, or drowned out. Conclusion: If I had a cork mat or leather or some rubber, I may not have heard a difference, but I paid extra for the nice clear acrylic platter so if you have the same thing, you need this weight. It's been fun re-listening to my vinyl again with this weight on.

I looked at adding a turntable weight to help with sound quality when playing vinyl records. There's a plethora of choices and prices out there. I choose this one because of the weight, finish quality and ease of use.. I am satisfied with this purchase. Can I hear a substantial improvement in sound quality? Maybe it's just a slight improvement. The product is nice looking and adds to the quality aesthetics of my turntable. I use it all the time and I like it so it's worth it to me to have this.

Very hefty. And adds that extra bit of stability to the player. Love it. Worth every penny.

You'll notice if you list reviews by "recent", that many reviews, are calling out a bad batch of these record weights. It would seem all of the black models are poorly produced in this batch. Hopefully future batches will get back on track and correct these flaws. Mine like all the others has an uneven finish, and the Fluance name is only partially visible. I got lucky in the sense that I didn't have the other common problems that are showing up. The protective fell bottom is securely stuck on, and correctly centered. Also, mine exhibits no visible wobble. That means it is correctly drilled for its center hole. Many appear to be off center. Given the cosmetic blemish is relatively minor on mine (kinda looks like I've been using it a couple of years), I decided to keep it. It gives it a bit of warm character. It works great, and you can hear how the music tightens up when used on a system with an acrylic platter (or acrylic platter mat). It's almost impossible to find a low profile weight with this much mass, that doesn't cost a couple of hundred bucks. So I think it's worth the gamble in ordering one to see if you get a keeper or have to exchange it until you do. Fluance needs to do a recall of these and demand a free couple of batches from whomever is making these for them. It makes Fluance look bad because they are selling a visibly bad looking product, and they are heavy into the "lifestyle" look with their whole catalog. This just really defeats a good deal of money and effort they spend on promoting that look.

This is probably the best record weight. It feels awesome and it keeps the records nice and straight. Very easy to use just set it and let it do it thing. The color blends well with the vinyl records.

Its great and heavy

Très bon produit et super finition

This is easily the best value for a turntable weight on the market. Nothing is built better or heavier at this price. There is no weight heavier than this at 760 grams, most are only 200 grams. The finish is smooth and brilliant. The mirror-finished polished surface means there is no coating to flake off. The FLUANCE logo is laser etched in so no fading or peeling. The design is wide to balance the weight. The large groove around the perimeter is perfect for grip. A low-pile felt pad on the bottom is prefect for protecting labels and the hole is deep and perfecty centered. Like all record weight this will couple the record with the platter for reduced wow and flutter. The weight increases speed consistency. Will help flatten concave records (bowed upwards in middle), warped and convex records need a different solution. Also you should have a mat with a recessed label area for best coupling. Advice: only put this on or take off the record with the platter stopped. The weight of the this puck can cause your record to slide on the platter if you drop it while spinning. Also the weight can cause stress on the platter motor or belt when already spinning. An audiophile upgrade for any turntable.

Es necesario para estabilizar la reproducción de tus vinilos, también considera calibrar la torna en una superficie completamente flat para una reproducción aún más óptima.

Muy adecuado, buena calidad

Nach mehreren anderen Gewichten bin ich mit diesem endlich am Ende der Suche. Mit den 760g Stahl sitzt die LP satt auf dem Teller. Die Rille mittig erhöht die Sicherheit, damit das Gewicht nicht von den Fingern gleitet – was mir ein paar mal bei anderen Gewichten - Aluminium Gewichte - passiert ist und die darunter parat liegende LP ruiniert hat. Das Gewicht sieht sehr edel aus und erhöht die wertige Optik des Spieler - wenn das einem auch wichtig ist. Ich kann das Teil zu 100% weiterempfehlen - wenn du ein Gewicht willst, nimm das!
