Stabilizes cartridge operation and brings out its true potential

MJ Technology of the Year 2019 Award

PURE FLAT is a peripheral stabilizer that corrects warpage and distortion on record discs by fitting them into the outside of the disc to make it flat.

Eliminating the warpage of record discs will stabilize the operation of the cartridge and make it easier to demonstrate its true potential.
Furthermore, it can also suppress the vibration of the speaker.
Also, since the moment of inertia increases, the rotational performance of the phono motor can be improved. PURE FLAT is a hassle to set up every time, but it is an extremely cost-effective way to improve sound quality.

PURE FLAT is made of SU304 stainless steel, which has excellent acoustic properties. Also, since it is non-magnetic, it will not have any negative effect on the cartridge.
When placed over a record, the record itself acts as a guide and almost the center comes out, making it easy to use and does not require a guide for centering.
In order to prevent cartridges with a small amount of stylus protrusion from coming into contact with the outer stabilizer, the protrusion from the edge of the record is kept to a maximum of 0.6mm.

The straightening ability of the sled requires a certain amount of weight, and the weight of PURE FLAT is 1kg.
The effects are more powerful than changes that can be obtained by replacing the amplifier, such as stable low-frequency thrust, more persuasive music, and reduced high-frequency distortion.

The sense of stability and thrust provided by the solid bass has improved more than expected, making the music more persuasive. If you get used to this sound and then remove it, it will sound as if it has lost its spirit.
Furthermore, since there is no shaking, both the cartridge and the speaker operate stably, resulting in clearer sound.

Review

The stainless steel stabilizer is not light, but it's not overly heavy either, and it's just the right amount of weight that doesn't put an extreme load on the record.
There is a groove cut into the inner circumference to fit the edge of the LP, but it doesn't click into place, 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 some room in the groove to accommodate variations in the size of the disc, so be careful if you don't fit the disc exactly here or it will end up eccentric.
Also, the height of the stabilizer bar may cause it to rub on some turntables, so it's best to check before purchasing. The advantage of PURE FLAT is that it applies the load evenly around the record, so there is no wobbling, and the stability during rotation is much better than a regular stabilizer that presses down at the center.
Also, apart from correcting disc distortion, it is certain that the disc is held down effectively, and the movement of the cartridge is stable and smooth.
As a result, the signal is better absorbed from the sound groove, and the sound is definitely better, so if you're having trouble with a disc stabilizer, it's definitely worth a try.
