What customers say
Audiophiles highly regard the MoFi Super HeavyWeight Champion for its premium quality and superior damping. Reviewers consistently praise its substantial 1300 gram mass and precision machining, noting it justifies the cost through performance and aesthetics. The primary benefit is exceptional vibration control, which users report tightens bass, improves mid-range clarity, and stabilizes the soundstage. Its heft also effectively couples records to the platter, improving playback for imperfect vinyl. While the sonic refinement is celebrated, buyers must confirm their turntable can safely handle the significant 1.3 kilogram load. For serious enthusiasts prioritizing maximum vibration control, this weight delivers a worthwhile performance enhancement.
Know before you buy
The weight increases the contact between the vinyl and the platter, which helps flatten slightly warped records. By coupling the record more tightly to the turntable, it effectively dampens unwanted vibrations and resonance that can otherwise color the sound.
The Super HeavyWeight Champion is designed to be compatible with most standard turntables. However, you should ensure your turntable's motor and suspension system are capable of handling the additional mass without affecting playback speed.
Yes. A weight simply sits on the spindle to provide downward pressure, making it easy to use and swap between records. A clamp typically locks onto the spindle to provide a more secure grip, which can be more effective for severely warped records but takes longer to attach.
For most high-quality belt-drive and direct-drive turntables, the added mass is negligible and will not impact speed stability. If you have a turntable with a very lightweight or sensitive suspension, it is worth confirming that the added weight won't strain the motor.
No, adding a record weight does not change the tracking force of your tonearm. The weight sits on the platter and does not add any mass to the stylus or the cartridge itself.
