@badgerdms , glad it’s working out for you. I think it is terrific, the only one I’ve found that doesn’t affect tonal balance and the energy of the recording. It seems merely to dissipate some slight, spurious resonance or chatter, bringing notes and transients more into focus while leaving the music itself intact and lifelike. No real tradeoffs to me. I haven’t tried the Monza, which people seem to like. But I’ve gradually determined that, for me on my turntables, mass is counterproductive. Seems good at first, especially in the low frequencies, but ends up subtly discombobulating timing and my toe stops tapping.
Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers
I was curious about folks' takes on record weights/disc stabilizers. Let me start by saying that I'm not as interested in a disc clamp, although I understand why some prefer them. I have a turntable (Technics SL-1210G) that can handle up to a 1kg weight so the first question--is more weight always better? Any differences found in what they are made of (outside of how that affects the weight)? Anything else I should be considering?
I hope to demo a few but wanted to narrow things down a bit if possible.
Thanks!
