Can you hear the difference in the 2 recordings? Eccentricity Detection Stabilizer by DS Audio $6K!

[SineWave]

It's only 6 thousand dollars.

"It should be considered an Necessary, not an Accessory".
"once you heard the difference it can make, you won't likely choose to listen to another LP without using it"
"those [list of audio issues] are Vastly diminished"

He plays a record before and after using it. Can you hear the difference?

$6k buys a lot of CDs.

I have to admit, that's a pretty cool gadget.
Can't wait for the CD version.

Yes, I can hear the differences (not very good recording). But: too much expensive and.. 620 g!!! -> Risk of damaging the turntable motor, I think

 

[Soria Moria]

It's really hard to try in videos like these that haven't been properly edited. Ideally he would splice both of the versions together with perfect seamless transitions between each other. With how it is now you have to manually click on the timebar between each of them.

I have to assume the normal eccentricity of vinyl we all know and love (?) is not considered a feature anymore.

A USB microscope works and is cheaper...way cheaper

Best? and cheapest idea something as: DR. FEICKERT DERENEVILLE MAGIC MAT - €155
[Spanish] https://soundsevilla.com/producto/dr-feickert-dereneville-magic-mat/

It works well. Better with Dr. Feickert INERTIA platter - 900 €

DR. FEICKERT INERTIA PLATTER

Plato POM con 8 pesos de latón para platos giratorios DFA Woodpecker, Blackbird y Firebird. Los insertos de latón aseguran un comportamiento de resonancia mejorado.

A CD version would be useless, because very few people can hear 44.1kHz.

I bet real audiophiles can. Why else do they demand ultrasonic tweeters?

Excentrical issues I never acountered or heard with vinyls.

But read about some example where some excentrical income my come out as this:

It appears that there is an actual objective change in the audio. Look for the electrical noise at ~16KHz.

The benefit appears to be more precise playback speed.

My best advice is to just to go on Qobuz to stream whatever you want and spin a vinyl LP without dropping the needle.

Animated comparison.

16 kHz ... (I) a dream ....

16 kHz ... (I) a dream ....

Heh. I know what you mean. It's just a good reference for the speed slowly rising and falling every rotation of the album.

 

[fieldcar]

The slope is probably a slightly different playback speed, but I think the waves are the detectable wobble.

If it was a bit-perfect match, the clock drift would be locked to a straight horizontal line at '0'.
