It’s been reported that during the record pressing process, removing the LP from the stamper early is another reason for warping. I tend to agree with this thought.
Warped LP's
Hey,
So, are some pressings just warped from factory?
I had purchased Springsteen’s Letter to You from Amazon (double LP) and the first LP has a very visible warp/wobble to it, although it sounded fine.
But didn’t like that and so exchanged it for another and this one also seems to have a bit of a wobble to it although not as bad as the first one (same side).
Since it seems to sound ok, I will probably just stick with it.
Amazon packing seems pretty secure and safe so I don’t think it is on them although who knows how they are kept at their warehouse.
But wanted to inquire if this happens time to time.
Thnx

Warped LP's Get a reflex clamp. JA Michell Record Clamp Review & Demonstration Dishing a warped LP with the spindle washer is the game changer. Nothing is more disturbing than watching a video of a nice rig playing warped disc! Reflex clamp for us plebians without a vacuum holdown setup😂 Your Mofi table has a spindle long enough to accommodate reflex clamp use. Some tables-Rega/Technics have very short spindle and cannot use.

I for one disagree with the above in general. I have experimented with various weights, clamps, record mats, ...etc.I have found that the Lp should be as decoupled as possible from any mechanical bearing. Using a screw down clamp only couples you more than before. This is not good Therefore I prefer a record weight purposely designed to use light weight yet researched materials to maximize the resonance dissipation during playback. |
