Hopefully now vinyl warps will be a thing of the past, and together with a good cleaning machine should return your vinyl to being “almost like new”. To help with this vinyl maintenance Pro-Ject have just released Flatten It, the latest tool for your vinyl arsenal.
According to Pro-Ject, Flatten it is designed to restore your warped records with precision and care. It gently and safely flattens your vinyl, improving playback quality by eliminating skips, pops, and distortion. Compatible with all sizes and thicknesses of records, it features premium heated aluminum plates for even heat distribution, ensuring consistent results.
Flatten it has precise temperature control and a low temperature hysteresis of just 2°C, giving your records the care and attention they deserve.
