Record Stabilizer / Clamp — 13.8 oz Key benefits — why you need it Improves sound clarity by increasing contact between the record and platter, reducing resonance and surface vibration. Stabilizes platter speed and reduces wow & flutter caused by micro-vibrations and warped records. Dampens unwanted noise without overloading the turntable bearings — the 13.8 oz weight is calibrated to suppress vibration while remaining safe for most tonearm/bearing assemblies. Protects vinyl: a soft lower pad prevents scratching or marking of record surfaces. What it does and how it stands out Precise weight and ergonomics: At 13.8 ounces, the stabilizer is heavy enough to damp resonance but light enough to avoid stressing the turntable spindle. Its ergonomic shape makes it easy to place and remove. Improves playback consistency: By holding warped or uneven records flat against the platter, it reduces distortion and surface noise and helps maintain a stable rotational speed. Quality build and finish: Finely manufactured with a delicate finish for durability and a professional appearance. Includes a soft underside pad for record protection. Centered fit: The spindle hole is sized to fit most existing turntables and ensures the stabilizer sits concentrically on the spindle for reliable performance. Features at a glance Weight: 13.8 ounces (approximately 392 g) Soft lower pad to protect record surfaces Ergonomic shape for easy handling Durable, finely finished construction Spindle hole sized to fit most turntables; stabilizer centers on the spindle Practical use scenarios 1) Home listening for audiophiles: Use the stabilizer to lower resonance and improve detail retrieval during critical listening sessions, producing cleaner mids and tighter bass. 2) Playing warped or older records: Clamp down slightly warped vinyl so the stylus tracks more evenly, reducing distortion and surface noise while protecting the groove. 3) Archival or transfer work: When digitizing vinyl, the stabilizer helps maintain constant speed and reduce microphonic noise, improving the quality of transfers. Compatibility and considerations Designed to work with most turntables thanks to a standard-sized spindle hole and centered design. Weight is chosen to balance vibration damping with safe load on bearings; however, check your turntable manual if you have specific manufacturer limits or very lightweight vintage equipment.
