PRODUCT INFORMATION

Functional and easy to use sound improvement!

Although it seems rather obvious that vinyl records are flat platters, this is not always the case. In fact, a lot of vinyl records are warped and not plane. This leads to wow effects (wow and flutter) as the needle goes up and down on the record.

Furthermore, resonances can arise as air between the record and the platter starts vibrating.

Vinyl sound can be significantly improved, when unwanted resonances between record and plat-

ter	can be reduced, while playback. Therefo-
re,	the surfaces of record and platter should

be tightly connected. Standard record pucks use high mass to achieve this. However, that approach can lead to following disadvantages:

1. The weight can induce higher levels of rumble, when used with lower cost turntables which have less massive main bearings.

This will affect the sound negatively. Therefore, high mass record pucks are only suitable for turntables with high mass platters.

2.Instead of the desired closer contact between your vinyl and turntable, often the opposite is achieved: Due to the high weight in the middle of the plate arching the record and the edge loses contact with the turntable.

Both	have a	significantly	negative effect on
the	playback	quality of	your vinyl records.

Clamp it is the real solution, an accessory with a clamp mechanism around the center spindle, that will not add weight, which would induce rumble. You canfine-adjustpressureaccordingconditionofyour warped records. Fitting of Clamp it is easily done within seconds. This accessory will not only please yourears,itsbeautifullymachineddiamond-cuted- ges will also look extremely cool on any turntable!
