Ansuz D-TC Resonance Control Vinyl Record Stabilizer It is widely known that adding pressure or weight to the center of a vinyl record can improve the sound of the bass of the record. This is properly also the reason why a lot of turntable manufactures include record clamps with their audio product. Unfortunately, this advantage most often comes hand in glove with a considerable downside the reproduction of the music turns out to be much flatter, more compressed and without the vividness that is so idiosyncratic of vinyl sources. Record clamps that are screwed onto the center pin of the turntable also bring the record in direct mechanical contact with the center barring of the platter. The result is more background noise and an audible layer of rumbling distortions to the music. To avoid these acoustic drawbacks, the Ansuz Darkz Record Stabilizer is neither adding a lot of weight nor is it in direct contact with the center pin.
