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

I feel like this weight certainly makes a difference. Light enough that I’m not worried about damaging my bearings or harming the spindle but heavy enough to add some noticeable visible stability. Certainly a nice and easy addition to your audio set up.

Works!

Love it! Really does a great job of coupling the record to the platter, especially on older albums that have warped slightly. Oh, it also looks fantastic on the table!

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

This was a little to tall to work while the dust cover was down, However it was close enough to almost close so there was not a noticeable difference in look. Did not help with warps but held my more slippery records down well. The weight was fine not slowing my intro turntable too much but a very slight noticeable slowdown. I use this enough to say it was worth the price at least. 3.5 stars if I could.

I wanted the silver one so bad and they sent me the black matte which looks dull and you can get it at any vendor.....and it took forever to arrive. I mean, how hard is it to follow simple directions!!!

Even if this record weight cannot completely overcome/control badly warped vinyl records, it apparently works fine as a semi-stabilizer. The chrome one I ordered is quite beautiful and heavy enough for my direct drive turntable (Denon DP-52F). Furthermore, its short height would not touch the closed dust-cover. Finally, the quality of packaging indicates the high quality of the product (it is designed and developed in NYC, yet is made in China). P.S. Incidentally it might work as a thermometer! because its from touching it that I noticed for the first time that the turntable motor has got too hot!! Just in case... :)

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.

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

Quality is excellent, speedy delivery. Ive been an avid audiophile and videophile spanning over four decades. My 5000+ record collection is benefiting immensely. My Linn turntalble, Akito arm and Linn cartridge already create a nice synergy. The missing link was the lack of a nice machined and heavy record weight. After using leather cement to bond the leather cut out to the base of the weight, placing it over the spindle in the perfectly centered hole. The weight of the clamp assures that the record bonds to the platter which resultantly lowers the noise floor. This opens the soundstage, and the inky black background created by this bond, allows the quiet higher register nuances of the recording to shine. Vast improvement to an already nice sounding table. Id always had clamps which, when purchasing my high end turntables from American turntable manufacturer, VPI. MY budget LINN rig is producing 90% of the high quality reproduction of treasured vinyl that Ive collected since 1967. 90?% of the quality I achieved with a budget table and it almost competes with a rig that retailed for 23k. Not bad at all. If you are like me and love the romanticism of kicking back in a dimly lit room and the record fills the dark room with music and you close your eyes and drift away along with the troubles we often find in modern life. Sheer bliss. Buy this clamp!
