Fidelix PURE FLAT Analog Disc Stabilizer

PURE FLAT is an outer circumference stabilizer that corrects warping and distortion on record discs by fitting them into the outside of the disc.

Eliminating warping of the record disc stabilizes the operation of the cartridge and makes it easier to demonstrate its original performance.
In addition, it can suppress the shaking of the speakers.
In addition, the moment of inertia is increased, which can improve the rotational performance of the phono motor. PURE FLAT is a troublesome way to set it every time, but it is a very cost-effective way to improve sound quality.

The material of PURE FLAT is SU304 stainless steel, which has excellent acoustic properties. In addition, it is non-magnetic, so it does not adversely affect the cartridge.
If you put it on the record, the record itself becomes a guide and the center is almost out, so it is easy to use and there is no need for a guide to center out.
In order to prevent cartridges with a small amount of needle protrusion from contact with the outer circumference stabilizer, the maximum protrusion from the edge of the record is limited to 0.6 mm.

The straightening ability of the sled requires a certain amount of weight, and the weight of the PURE FLAT is 1 kg.
The extrusion of the stable low frequencies, the persuasiveness of the music, the reduction of the distortion of the high frequencies, etc., are more powerful than the changes that can be obtained by replacing the amplifier.

The stability and extrusion of the solid bass is improved more than expected, and the music becomes more convincing. If you get used to this sound and then remove it, it will sound as if you have lost your energy.
In addition, since there is no shaking, the operation of both the cartridge and the speaker is stable, so the sound becomes clear.

The stainless steel stabilizer is not light, but it is not heavy either, and it is just the right amount of weight so that it does not put an extreme load on the vinyl record.
The grooves are cut around the inner circumference so that the edges of the LP fit in, but it doesn't seem to click, but it feels like it fits into a mold. Therefore, the way to use it is to put the disc on the platter and then cover it from above, but there is a little room in the groove to accommodate the variation in the size of the disc, so be careful not to put the disk tightly here, because it will be eccentric.
Also, since the return of the stabilizer is high, depending on the turntable, it may rub, so it is safer to check before purchasing. The advantage of PURE FLAT is that it applies the load evenly around the vinyl record, so there is no blurring, and the stability during rotation is the center, and it is much better than a normal stabilizer.
In addition, regardless of the distortion correction of the disc, it is certain that the disc is effectively pressed down, and the movement of the cartridge is stable and smooth.
As a result, the signal extraction from the sound groove has been improved, and the sound is definitely better, so if you are worried about the disc stabilizer, it is well worth a try.
