Introducing a genuine record stabilizer that is more modern and simple than Ortofon.
When playing a record, if the disc is warped or wavy, the cartridge will not be able to accurately read the audio signal.
Furthermore, even if the surface of the disc is flat, the spinning record may slip slightly, which can also be a problem in high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) record playback. In order to avoid this situation, it is important to place a stabilizer that acts as a weight on the record and keep the record in close contact with the rotating part (platter) of the player.
Ortofon's ``Record stabilizer'' is available in Black/Silver color variations, and has been commercialized in two types, a standard model with a weight of 240g and a ``Heavy'' model with a weight of 350g, assuming use with a variety of players.
The standard model has a weight of 240g, which is intended for use with entry-class belt drive players. On the other hand, the Heavy model, which weighs 350g, is also intended for use with belt drive players with heavy platters or direct drive players with powerful motors.
Both models have a satin matte finish on the surface of machined solid aluminum, and are further anodized to give it a premium texture.
The smooth felt sheet on the bottom protects the label surface of your favorite disc, and is intended to increase the degree of adhesion.
The wavy design on the side also serves to prevent the stabilizer from slipping when you hold it in your hand, and it also reflects the ``beauty of use'' of the graceful Scandinavian design that uses many simple and curved lines.
*The spindle hole of this product is compatible with record players with a diameter of up to 18 mm from the record surface to the center spindle tip. Please note that if the center spindle of your player is 18mm or more, you will need to take measures such as increasing the thickness of the turntable sheet.
