16oz Aluminum LP Vinyl Record Clamp – Turntable Stabilizer in Black Review

Pictures speak for themselves I got this to see if it would hold up well to warped records and it definitely doses and looks great, if your record is REALLY warped then I am I'm sure it won't be ideal for keeping it up to par, but it should help keep it tolerable

I've been looking for vinyl weights for my limited edition Technics turntable for years. You are perfect! I was surprised at how well the quality matched the price. I've seen these for $150 a pair. This is a special item that is very difficult to find, grab it while it's available. You will not be disappointed!

This "clip" is a great prize. It doesn't pinch, just sits and sheds 1 pound of weight. It is well finished, the anodizing is also very good! I don't have a dust cover on my turntable but it is quite tall and doesn't work with many covers. I paired it with my red Ortofon headshell and red acrylic mat to get the look I really like. The red accents used by this accessory go well with the red lights on my AT LP-120.

Not much to say here - your track record says 1 lb. I find this too heavy for a belt drive turntable, but this is most common with vinyl stabilizers. Adding foam to the bottom. Please note: On Rega turntables, this weight is too heavy to close the dust cover while playing.

The product works mostly as advertised but I wish it was a lot thinner. It's too high! I have a Fluance RT81 with a fairly tall dust cover, but even so it was too big to fully cover it. It also slows the player down by around 1-2% (tested with the RPM app on my iPhone), although that's more to do with my player not being able to accommodate the extra weight. Just something to think about.

Very well balanced. That's the pace! Squeeze every last bit of black out of the background and squeeze every note and nuance out of the album! Exactly what I wanted to do. If you have everything properly decoupled and well isolated on your TT with a good arm and pickup, this instrument will add tremendous power to your sound! The difference is like day and night! This really is the icing on the cake when it comes to completing your TT's audiophile setup!

I read a review of this LP scale in an audio magazine review. The reviewer was surprised that they could measure the difference in weight. The differences are less trills and sustained bass. So I ordered this weight and with my trained ear I can hear the difference the reviewer wrote about. This is irrelevant. Less warbling, and the bass is consistent and precise. I believe that the weight dampens the vertical movement of the arm due to the slight buckling of the record.

When it comes to plate scales or clamps, let's be honest. Few solve the problem of record stabilization using real science. They often cost as much as a decent turntable. The reality is that a 0.99 second hockey puck drilled down the center has the same effect. So why spend hundreds of dollars when you don't need it. This affordable, beautiful stabilizing weight does the job perfectly. Save your money for more listings. I highly recommend this product if you want to hear what's really going on…
