I ended up getting the Record Pi based on it's good reviews, and have had great results. I was able to save some warped records that were pretty valuable, and restored them to perfectly flat; it definitely paid for itself.

Pi is definitely the one I have been seriously considering after finding out it existed 2 months ago.

I'm extremely upset with myself. I forgot a few LPs in my car, but still protected from the sun. That didn't really help. The car is black and the sun was beating down on it all day. The interior was so hot it warped my records! They are all still playable and don't skip, but are badly warped. The worst one is my Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. Very upset about this. Never leave your records in the car, even for a few hours!

Sorry to hear that the records got warped, but that's great that they're still playable with no skips! Definitely worth a shot to try fixing it with a vinyl flat. Just be careful when using it!

I own Oil Capital Vinyl in Tulsa and finally decided to order one of these last week, after buying an otherwise nice collection of records, except most are cupped. Hoping I can salvage most or all of them with the Vinyl Flat.
@TheAgeOfAnalog Жыл бұрын
@@user-og2oc2oi5g I've salvaged at least 200 cupped or warped records since then , using the Vinyl Flat. It takes some experimentation, using the supplied felt discs, as well as some other tools I've utilized, along with the correct heat setting (always medium) and times to get the desired results. Sometimes it takes several sessions to unwarp one record.
@BC-ni3sk Жыл бұрын
The other consideration, forces are at play on the needle with the warp such as additional downforce running through the peaks and valleys on the lp. So in considering this and perhaps you have a spendy cartridge and needle then it makes the flattener that much more important.

I started collecting vinyls a couple months ago so far no warps But it happened to happen to one of my favorite ones and yeah. It’s a slight warp which makes the needle jump a little at the beginning. Not a huge warp but small, I will probably get this, this is the cheapest option, I’d get the $1000 option but that one costs so much I’d feel obligated to start a side business of flattening vinyls for $5-$10 a pop and I don’t feel like doing that lol
@kenisinoregon 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah those warps do happen once in a while! I’ve been happy with the results with this thing! I hear yeah haha $1000 on just fixing some records is pretty nuts, but audiophile equipment is already ridiculously priced so getting the Vinyl Flat kind of made sense to me

@@kenisinoregon yeah, thanks for the review. I’ve heard mixed things about this and will try it on my slightly warped vinyl. They still produce it and sell it for $20 so it’s not like I’m empty handed if I make it worse

I just got into vinyl and felt awful seeing the needle going up and down. I will just have to save those $5 dollars of Starbucks and buy it eventually. Yes, my OCD doesn't let me be in peace. But good thing this review calmed my nerves a little. Thank you!

Hi, just to make sure; you put color lps in for 2 hours straight, or do you recommend trying an hour first?
@kenisinoregon 2 жыл бұрын
1 hr didn’t work for me so I did 2hrs (color LPs). Made a bigger difference without damaging the record. Make sure to clean it before you start it. Do this at your own risk, but 2hr should be fine.
