Hudson Hi-Fi SpaceBen Record Weight Stabilizer with Protective Leather Pad - 8-Ounce Vinyl Turntable Weight - Durable & Stylish LP Stabilizer - Fits Any Turntable - Chrome

I mean, its a hunk of metal in the right shape to hold your record firmly against your turntable. What else is there to say. If you dont have one, and you listen to a lot of records, you should definitely have one.

8oz is a good weight. Cutouts make it easy to handle. Its a good looking stabilizer that is very well built. Love it. Low profile will fit under most, if not all dust covers.

Was initially skeptical , but it works as described ... excellent !

I have tried 4 record weights and 2 record clamps (see photo), ranging from 7 oz to 22 oz, and this 8 oz weight from Hudson HiFi, known as the Space Ben, is by far the most accurate sounding, meaning it’s unique design is doing its job of stabilizing the record on the platter and isolating it from unwanted vibrations. Highly recommended.

Works prefectly in holding down the record. In my case, with a Fluance rt81, the stabilizer works great at helping the speed constant. I also own the Big Ben Stabilizer, but I will be preferring the Little Ben since I can close the dust cover while playing, and it also looks wonderful. The grainy texture is a plus. Very recommended.

Works great for old records if you are trying to get them to lay flat. If you are buying new LPs or have a Funk Firm Gett! TT which has a large belt drive, this will slow down your record’s pitch and drive you batty. Direct drives with pitch control I think these would work magic. Can’t use on my set up and the window for return has closed winnow I have a well honed paperweight lol

This definitely improved sound quality with my records especially with older records I own... This is a good product!

The sound of records is dependent on hardware. You can own a certain platter or expensive needle stylus. I estimate that an additional weight in the center of a record may help for 80% of my record collection (edit - I originally thought only 20% of my records would sound better). You can buy different platters, leather or rubber mats, or add records underneath the record youre playing, or whatever. Experiment! The weight helps for certain records, about 80% of my collection. It worsens the sound for the others. Its nice to have for that 80%.

I live 20mi from them and it took a week or more to actually receive. They also sent the wrong color. Needed it for a photoshoot so didn’t have time to return and exchange given how long it takes them to deliver. They did give me a small refund tho for full disclosure. The product itself is great

Quality is excellent, speedy delivery. Ive been an avid audiophile and videophile spanning over four decades. My 5000+ record collection is benefiting immensely. My Linn turntalble, Akito arm and Linn cartridge already create a nice synergy. The missing link was the lack of a nice machined and heavy record weight. After using leather cement to bond the leather cut out to the base of the weight, placing it over the spindle in the perfectly centered hole. The weight of the clamp assures that the record bonds to the platter which resultantly lowers the noise floor. This opens the soundstage, and the inky black background created by this bond, allows the quiet higher register nuances of the recording to shine. Vast improvement to an already nice sounding table. Id always had clamps which, when purchasing my high end turntables from American turntable manufacturer, VPI. MY budget LINN rig is producing 90% of the high quality reproduction of treasured vinyl that Ive collected since 1967. 90?% of the quality I achieved with a budget table and it almost competes with a rig that retailed for 23k. Not bad at all. If you are like me and love the romanticism of kicking back in a dimly lit room and the record fills the dark room with music and you close your eyes and drift away along with the troubles we often find in modern life. Sheer bliss. Buy this clamp!
