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

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.

Now let me preface by saying I play a lot of records and this was not a bad weight as far as what its use was in my setup. But after upgrading to an RT-83 I decided to give this weight a spin and after a few weeks the plastic started to peel off the bottom. It was way too expensive anyway. Oh well

I just recently became a collector of vinyl, having many albums I never listened to - I purchase everything needed. I read that these weighted stabilizers are a perfect addition to provide consistent album stability while being played. I purchased this, and notice immediately that it is a valuable addition to the listening experience.

Very nice matching weight for Fluance Turntables. Looks nice and helps to flatten out slightly warped records.

One of the heaviest weight out there which is a plus while Surprisingly didn’t feet in my T85 Turntable !! Returned

Does its job to a tee. Shouldn’t be $50.

This is an awesome piece of equipment stops a lot of flutter on older records and keeps the weight constant as the record turns.

I grew up with vinyl. Over the past decade, many of the new records Ive purchased have been warped, which really bugs me, so after buying a Fluance RT85, I found out they make a record weight that supposedly helps flatten warped records. In short: it doesnt. I tried it out on half a dozen warped records, from slightly warped to very warped, and it DID NOT flatten any of them. This Fluance weight actually weighted the center down so much it LIFTED THE EDGE OFF THE PLATTER of many records. It taco bowled them! See My Photos. I like how heavy it is, but beyond the tactile and aesthetic element, I dont see anything of value. In fact, I think making the record edge lift like it does probably makes the needle ride at an angle in the grooves, which would not be a good thing. Also, it is not centered. When I removed it from the box the hole looked off center. After measuring the hole to the edge with calipers, I found it was definitely not centered. The company offered to give me a few bucks back to keep the out-of-round weight, but I had to email them several more times for a week or two before they actually did anything they said they would.

I ordered this a total of 4 times. First time it came and the etching of the logo was bad and the machined hole was off centered, so I ordered again. The package got lost. Refunded. Ordered again. Package got lost AGAIN. Then I ordered one last time and it came and looked EXACTLY THE SAME as the one I returned. I have an RT85N, so I assumed this would be up to standard. Its the complete opposite. Never buy this trash. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

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