FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using a record weight?
The primary benefit is to stabilize the vinyl record, reducing vibrations and minimizing the impact of minor warps. This leads to improved sound clarity, reduced surface noise, and more consistent playback.
How heavy is the Fluance HiFi Vinyl Record Weight?
The record weight has a high mass of 760 grams.
What material is the record weight made of?
It is constructed from durable steel.
Will this record weight fit my turntable?
It is designed to fit most standard turntable spindles. However, it is always best to verify your turntable's spindle size if you are unsure.
Does it come with a protective cover?
Yes, it includes a protective velvet pad to prevent scratching the record label and the weight itself.
How should I clean the record weight?
Clean the steel weight with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can this help with severely warped records?
While it helps significantly with minor warps, it may not fully correct severely warped records. Its main function is stabilization and vibration damping.
Troubleshooting
Turntable speed seems inconsistent after adding the weight
Ensure the weight is centered correctly on the spindle and record. Check that your turntable's motor is strong enough to maintain speed with the added mass. If the issue persists, the weight might be too heavy for your specific turntable's motor.
Record doesn't sit flat with the weight on it
The record itself may be significantly warped. The weight helps with minor warps, but severe ones may still cause playback issues. Ensure the weight is centered and not tilting.
Weight is difficult to place or remove from the spindle
Ensure the weight's spindle hole is clear of debris. If it's too tight, check your turntable's spindle diameter against the weight's specifications. Forcing it could damage the spindle or the weight.
Scratches appearing on record labels
Always use the provided velvet pad. Ensure the pad is clean and positioned correctly between the weight and the record label before placing the weight.
