Hudson Hi-Fi SpaceBen Record Weight Stabilizer with Protective Leather Pad - 8-Ounce Vinyl Turntable Weight - Durable & Stylish LP Stabilizer - Fits Any Turntable - Chrome

The sound of records is dependent on hardware. You can own a certain platter or expensive needle stylus. I estimate that an additional weight in the center of a record may help for 80% of my record collection (edit - I originally thought only 20% of my records would sound better). You can buy different platters, leather or rubber mats, or add records underneath the record youre playing, or whatever. Experiment! The weight helps for certain records, about 80% of my collection. It worsens the sound for the others. Its nice to have for that 80%.

Pleasing aesthetics and a good weight, I found that it did improve on resonance and bass a bit when coupled with both metal and acrylic platters on 2 different TT’s. If your baseline is streaming CD grade music and you like to diverge into the vibe of vinyl on a quality built TT, I would try it out and let your own ears be the judge of any experience enhancement.

Works well for slightly warped records on my Audio technica Atlp60x but you cant close the dust cover while in use

The item seems to perform as described but Im very disappointed to receive what was clearly an item that was dropped from a significant height as the box, which I was looking forward to keeping and displaying is badly damaged from impact. Not happy with receiving this poorly handled item. Fortunately its just a piece of metal otherwise it wouldve been damaged. Hopefully its not warped or out of balance.

Good quality but a little bit too big for Project Turntable as I can not close the lid with it on.

8oz is a good weight. Cutouts make it easy to handle. Its a good looking stabilizer that is very well built. Love it. Low profile will fit under most, if not all dust covers.

This is a nice little record weight. Its3hard to tell from the photos, but it does have 2 finger slots, not just one. It fits nicely in the spindle and is not so heavy I worry about the plinth bottoming out. The chrome is nice, the box it came in would do for storage. The original box was a pain for me to open, so I picked up a nice box to keep on the shelf next to my turntable and it firts perfectly. This isba great addition and my older non 180 gram records seem to sound better.

Works!

Simple fix

On a cheap kit, this makes a difference! I have a typical Crosley turntable that I’ve modified with insulation, completely different stylus, etc., and I can tell you the weight is definitely helping to preserve some of the low-mid range on what’s typically lost due to vibration with this unit. Granted, it makes the motor hum a little which raises other concerns, but this weight is great for louder more upbeat albums where the record is trying to pump through a lot of low and mid range at the same time.
