Record weight for Techdas AF3P

[joeling]

So, the table does not come with a record weight but instead, Techdas sells 2 after market ones called "disc stabiliser II" made of high grade Aluminum and "disc stabiliser Ultimate" made of tungsten presumably some sort of Tungsten alloy for eye watering money.

I seek advice and insight from fellow enthusiasts. Any experience with these ? Any recommendations for any other record weight ?

So far, I have experimented with no name record weight probably made of alumium, 0.5kg copper record weight, 1.0kg record weight but all to the detriment of the sound.

Thanks.

The TechDAS disc stabiliser is no good, the tungsten ultimate is very good and very expensive. I have tried them all.

After trying a lot of different weights, I designed and manufactured my own. It is better than anything in the market at a fraction of the price.

Did you meanwhile got the tungsten stabilizer? Any results?

I tested tungsten vs titanium and preferred the titanium on AF1P. It will be the same result with AF3P. More importantly I preferred titanium over Shun mook clamp.

But both form a serious SQ improvement over no clamp at all?

I wouldn't call it serious, a slight improvement is more appropriate in my opinion, lesser with tungsten.

Shun Mook and Dalby won’t work well on AF3p types with vacuum and/or suspension

It's not because of that. I tried Shun Mook on many turntables and I know exactly well the effect of Shun Mook products. I tried/heard almost all of them. My close friends and I have almost all Shun Mook products. Shun Mook works exactly as it should on TechDas turntables but titanium clamp is simply better to my ears. I haven't heard Dalby yet.

I urge you to try the Stillpoints LP1, the one with a through hole for tall spindles.

Have you exchanged it for a better one? Or is it not doing what you expected it to do?

 

[gian60]

I dont use and not exchanged,also i listen more Vyger Atlantis

At audioquattr too we listened more to Vyger Atlantis over Techdas AF3p and Dohmann Helix until he put the Dava on Techdas. Vyger cannot take the Dava as the linear tracker won't work with the wires of the field coil.
