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

This is a great solution to make a better sound and stabilize the album which is not flat. Highly recommended for your vinyl life.

Love my new weight ..not real sure it adds to sound quality but it looks great ..perfect weight ..and it makes me feel like a real audiophile which is really all that matters

Improves the sound quality on my older or thinner records, keeps them flatter and reduces some warbling effect. A little be snake-oily when it comes to adding bass, but I cant say for sure it doesnt have that small effect. I use it every time either way. You may not be able to listen with it on and your plastic cover closed depending on your turn table.

The sound is so much better thank you so very much

Very happy works perfect like they say good things come in small packages thank you

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.

Playing a record is a bit of a ritual for me as Im sure it is for many of you. This adds another step to the ritual that makes it all the more satisfying. If the felt on your platter is good quality with enough grip, I dont really think this product to be necessary in most cases. The only instances when it seems beneficial is if you have a slightly warped record or if the pressing is cheap/light weight. The extra weight from this product can flatted a warped record and stop a light weight one from dragging. But if you have a dragging record, youve also got quality issues with your stylus or your record player altogether. Once again, I think it is a nice, but not a necessary addition to my setup.

Its nice.

My vinyl records sound even more amazing with the addition of the SpaceBen. Records that had some issues sound better, and the ones in better shape sound wondrous. This was a recommendation from a friend also way into vinyl, and he was right.

I have tried 4 record weights and 2 record clamps (see photo), ranging from 7 oz to 22 oz, and this 8 oz weight from Hudson HiFi, known as the Space Ben, is by far the most accurate sounding, meaning it’s unique design is doing its job of stabilizing the record on the platter and isolating it from unwanted vibrations. Highly recommended.
