Know before you buy
By adding 800 grams of mass to your record, the puck ensures tighter coupling between the vinyl and the platter. This stabilizes the disc, which helps reduce unwanted resonance and improves overall sound fidelity.
The Record Puck Classic is compatible with most standard turntables. However, you should ensure your turntable's motor and platter bearing are designed to handle an additional 800-gram load before use.
While the 800-gram weight is significant, most high-quality turntables are built to handle this load without issue. If you have a lightweight, entry-level belt-drive turntable, verify that the motor can maintain consistent speed with the added mass.
This is a gravity-based record weight, meaning it simply sits on top of the spindle to hold the record in place. It does not require any threading or locking mechanism.
Yes, the added mass helps flatten minor warps by pressing the record more firmly against the platter. While it cannot fix severe damage, it significantly improves playback stability for records that are slightly uneven.
