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

Super cool addition to my Fluance RT85!!

Wow, this thing is heavy! I purchased this to go with my Fluance RT85 as I wanted to ensure my vinyl made solid contact with the acrylic platter. I was almost afraid to use it it was so heavy but it works like a charm. You can probably place a warped records and have it make contact. In any event, its a quality record weight.

This record weight is heavy and it helps a lot with an acrylic platter. Records can slip on an acrylic platter, with this record weight they are held firmly to the platter. Im glad I bought this one its worth it.

Youll 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 didnt 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 Ive 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). Its almost impossible to find a low profile weight with this much mass, that doesnt cost a couple of hundred bucks. So I think its 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.

Dont even try having a turntable with an acrylic platter without a record weight. Youll scratch your records up because theyll slide all over the place youve got to hold it down and youve got to hold it in place with a record weight if youre using a higher and turntable. You just need the stability it is obvious it is noticeable dont even think twice about it just get this thing because this is the perfect weight. Its not too late and its not too heavy. It has felt on the bottom so that the label doesnt get scratched up. Its worth every penny. Just get it.

Works as it should. Had a couple albums with a warp and it eliminated them. Very happy.

Buena calidad

It does help, it stabilizes the plater speed, but I dont hear a big difference, it does enhance the bass a little, but not to the point that if I forget to put it on the album, I can automatically hear it and jump up and put it on the album. I bought this one because I have a Fluance RT-85N, so I wanted their matching weight which is one of the heaviest on the market.

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.

It was too perfect to match my Fluance RT85. It really gives difference with the sound. Great value and performance with the price
