A New Accessory for Vinyl Freaks

I spent part of last night digitizing some 7-inch singles for an upcoming Secret History of Rock show and although I have a good turntable (Technics SL-1200), I could still sense some irregularities in the playback.  I traced the problem back to the state of the singles themselves.  They were a little warped and I think the centre hole was a little out of round.  Hey, you make do with what you got, right.

By sheer coincidence, I later stumbled on this record stabilizer, an adapter designed to dampen vibrations and other perturbations of not-quite-perfect pieces of vinyl.  Learn more about them here.
