Riverstone Audio Turntable Stabilizer Anodized Home Audio for Turntables & Accessories Review

ROCK n' ROLL 380 RECORD WEIGHTS - VINYL ANGEL - For those of you into vinyl records, guitars and Rock & Roll this weight is for you. These weights have it all, superb craftsmanship, good looks and, above all, the ability to enhance sound quality. The top surface of the record weight has a finely detailed laser engraving of a "Vinyl Angel". Designed with a low profile (low center of gravity) and precision machined from a solid billet of aerospace grade 7075-T6 aluminum. BETTER SOUND - Improves contact between a record and platter to reduce the transfer of unwanted vibrations to a stylus. The reduction of extraneous vibrations reduces distortion - provides better detail, tighter bass and overall improvement of sound quality. Also helpful to temporarily improve flatness of LP's; a warped or bowed record changes the contact angle between the stylus tip and record groove - leading to audio distortion and additional lateral loading of a stylus. LESS STRESS ON MOTORS - The medium mass (380 g) of the R&R 380 makes it well suited for use on most turntables, including vintage turntables. The medium mass requires a lower starting torque and the low profile/precision machining reduce wobble which lowers axial and radial loading of motor/spindle bearings during record playback. LOOKS GREAT ON ANY TURNTABLE – The R&R 380 record weights not only improve sound quality, they are a work of art, and ergonomically designed for easy gripping. The exquisite surface finish was obtained by a process that involves multi-step glass beading, hand polishing and anodizing for surface protection and color. LOW PROFILE - Fits under most dust covers; however, best to measure before ordering (requires approx. 36 mm from record surface to underside of dust cover). foam-lined wooden box is included to protect the record weight when not in use. Spec's: Mass 380g, 34.5 mm height, max. diameter (at base) 80 mm, spindle hole 7.25 mm dia. x 20 mm deep. Laser engraving: Vinyl Angel (text and image). Color: - Viper Red.
