Ansuz LP stabilizer T2

The innovative resonance controlling device 
for vinyl records and turntables.

This is neither a record clamp nor a record puck - it is a record stabilizer. With the design of these new Ansuz Darkz Record Stabilizers, Michael Børresen and his acoustic engineering team ventured onto new and innovative territory to optimize the performance of nearly any turntable.

It is widely known that adding pressure or weight to the center of a vinyl record can improve the sound of the bass of the record. This is properly also the reason why a lot of turntable manufactures include record clamps with their audio product. Unfortunately, this advantage most often comes hand in glove with a considerable downside – the reproduction of the music turns out to be much flatter, more compressed and without the vividness that is so idiosyncratic of vinyl sources.

Record clamps that are screwed onto the center pin of the turntable also bring the record in direct mechanical contact with the center barring of the platter. The result is more background noise and an audible layer of rumbling distortions to the music. To avoid these acoustic drawbacks, the Ansuz Darkz Record Stabilizer is neither adding a lot of weight nor is it in direct contact with the center pin.

The Ansuz Darkz Record Stabilizer weighs only between 374 and 750 grams (depending on the various optional quality levels) and rests on 12 small Titanium balls on the record. The idea is to stabilize the resonances emanating from the vinyl and to avoid any clamping down and deforming of the record. For the vinyl, this opens up the audio gates of unmitigated musicality. It unleashes a stunning tonality that brings the individual timbre of instruments to the fore and creates a most impressive, three dimensional sound stage where the vocal range of a singer enchants any listener into a live concert.
