Review on Riverstone Audio Stabilizer Anodized Aluminum by Ian Bates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Boy are you gonna carry that weight

I can't say I hear a difference in my vinyl but the weight makes sense as it reduces slippage and keeps the surface in contact with the disc. Note, however, that this also requires a suitable mat. The felt that came with my Technics turntable doesn't seem to match the high quality of the turntable itself. I am currently using a cork back covered with real leather. I've also tried an acrylic rug, but I think this combination works best. Now back to the weight. This is a beautiful piece presented in a beautiful wooden box. Light to medium weight. I didn't imagine that too much extra weight could be put on the turntable motor, but later reading indicated it wouldn't be a problem. Based on that, I would tend towards a little more weight if I bought the turntable weight again. But there are definitely no complaints about it. Wonderful color and finish.

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
