Fluance HiFi Vinyl Record Weight Stabilizer High Mass 760 Gram Steel LP Disc Turntable Accessory with Protective Velvet Pad for Vibration Damping (RW02)

Let me start by saying this a a very nice weight and I am very happy with it and it matches my turntable. The quality of everything Fluance makes is great, but you could probably find another brand of equal quality for half the price. And as long as you go in knowing that you’ll be very happy. Also it’s important to mention that it is low profile so you can close the dust lid while it’s on your record player.

I like the weight of the item and it functions well. I bought this item, partially, because it matched my Fluance RT-85 turntable in both brand and color. The item is priced very high for what it is. I give this item a poor review, not because of the price, but because the Fluance logo was already peeling off upon taking it out of the package. Very poor attention to detail and lack of quality control. It wasnt bad enough to take the trouble to send it back but definitely bad enough to make me not feel that great about the purchase (still functions fine at least). Even if it had been intact properly it appears it would not have taken much to get it to wear off. Should have been engraved for the price they ask for this.

This is a very substantial record weight at a good price.

The weight of this is perfect. No need to clamp down. Helps with those slightly warped records and improves the playback.

Really helps keep the LPs from sliding around.

Item was delivered quickly and looks great but when I put it on my NEW Fluance RT85N there was a very noticeable difference in rotation speed that both my wife and I noticed immediately. Again, this is a brand new (less than 5 hours total playing time) turntable that plays great without this weight so I highly doubt its the belt or motor. I notice in descriptions of this item and others that this item weighs considerably more than most others out there so I may give a different brand a try but after trying this on 4-5 of my favorite albums featuring songs Ive listened to hundreds of times (so I know how theyre supposed to sound) it was clear that the music was playing considerably slower that it should. Just not for me at all. LOVE my Fluance turntable by the way so not a knock on the company at all.

Supposedly these type of weights should help with the warped records to flatten them a bit. I dont really have very warped records so cannot comment if this weight really helps with that. I believe it also should help with the speed fluctuations, since its more mass added to the table and any changes would be smoothed out by the inertia. Again cant really say if it helps with any of that. Bought it more for the aesthetics than anything, and i do like how it looks. Its pretty heavy but on my turntable (Fluance) it does not slow the plate, turn-table is able to adjust with the added weight from this thing.

$50 for a chunk of metal, and Fluance can’t even get their Chinese supplier to etch their own logo on it properly. Looks like a hunk of junk. I returned it for another one to see if it was a fluke…NOPE, this one looks exactly the same, with an added bonus that the hole for the spindle on this one is also slightly off-center! Another reviewer pointed that out as well, so clearly the quality control here is non-existent. Embarrassing…and gives me serious doubts about all Fluance products. Good audio equipment needs to be made with precision, and this is anything but.

Bought this since I have a Fluance record player. I did notice the difference with better sound. Also, I love the matted finish.

It’s a fine looking piece of machined metal that “stabilizes?” your lp. At least the warped ones will see a possible benefit. Seems somewhat like turntable jewelry.
