Hudson Hi-Fi BigBen Record Weight Stabilizer with Protective Leather Pad - 13-Ounce Vinyl Weight - Solid Steel Turntable Weight Stabilizer, Vinyl Record Accessories for Improved Sound - Black

High quality, heavy weight. Levels out my record great, won’t fix a major warp but definitely helps and keeps everything in place and as flat as possible!

Looks good and works as expected. At only 9 oz this weight will not flatten out a warped record, but it will hold a record nice and snug onto the platter. Hudson Hi-Fi has the SmallBen priced very reasonably, too!

Does its job, good quality, awesome price

It does weigh down the record. So guess that is a good thing.

Works well, looks right, fits on my new Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evolution turntable

This is a perfect weight for belt drive record player, nice looking and sitting in a nice box next to my turn table when not being used if you’re looking this is what you need .

AWESOME!

I have long been familiar with the use of record weights or clamps to enhance the physical coupling between the LP and the turntable platter during playback. After purchasing a Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck, I was considering the use of a record weight with the unit when I noticed that the manufacturer offered a turntable weight for $200! Although I'll admit that some level of engineering was required in its design (mostly, to determine the optimal weight), but in my opinion, $200 was just an audiophile-oriented rip off for a chunk of machined metal. I found that the MoFi (standard) Record Weight, 'engineered for use with the turntable,' weighs 13 oz., and subsequently discovered the Hudson "Big Ben" Record Weight, which also weighs in at 13 oz., but whose cost was under 30 bucks, not 200, like the MoFi model! I purchased the Big Ben and immediately noticed a stark sonic improvement! The bass is much more well-defined, and the music sounds much better overall. Physically speaking, the Big Ben has a passing resemblance to its overpriced (in my opinion) competitor, with the bottom of the Big Ben fitted with a faux, leather pad to avoid damaging the record label, fitting comfortably over the spindle of my turntable. It also looks good. Although I cannot close the dust cover of my turntable during LP playback, due to the additional height of the weight, many 'purist' turntables' dust covers lift off (rather than being hinged), making the playing of records impossible with it on (in those cases), along with the fact that many audiophiles prefer the sound with the dust cover off. Overall, this weight looks and works great! Only you (and perhaps your sharp-eyed, audiophile buddies, noticing the absence of the trademark on the product) will know the difference between it and its overpriced competition.
