Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work?


I am wondering if anmyone has actually bought used either of these LP flatteners and how well they work??

I find a lot of general new releases are dished, so record clamp works great on one side, but not on the other due to the dishing?.
Do they flatten dished or bowed LP's.

cheers

I have the ring clamp and heavy platter and I like them both. I disagree that the ring clamp is really cumbersome to use. It works very well on dished LPs. Of course, it can do very little for "rippling" warps. The disc flattener would be better for that but I think if you get the occasional rippled record, it's more cost effective just to find another copy than to spend big bucks on a disc flattener.
Try the Vinyl Flat and pouch. It works great, especially for dish warping on new heavy vinyl. $150 complete.
