DS Audio ES-001 Eccentricity Detection Stabilizer
World's first eccentricity detection stabilizer (Patent applied).
World's first eccentricity detection stabilizer (Patent applied).
The Overall Wow and Flutter of the Entire System Cannot Be Significantly Reduced Unless the Eccentricity of the Record Is Corrected
With an eccentricity width value of 0.34mm, even if there is no inherent wow and flutter (speed error) produced by the turntable in use, it reaches around 0.15% (WTD RMS) on the innermost grooves of the records playing surface. In reality, the average speed error value of even the highest quality turntables is around 0.008%. These factors combined can result in an overall wow and flutter value 20 times worse than that of the turntable in isolation.
Put simply, when using even the finest quality turntables available, the overall wow and flutter of the entire system cannot be significantly reduced unless the eccentricity of the record is corrected. In order to faithfully reproduce the source material it is imperative to reduce the record eccentricity as much as possible.
Excessive Wow and Flutter Presents Two Problems
The first is that the unstable rotation causes fluctuations in pitch across the frequency range. The second is that if the record eccentricity is not corrected, the cartridge and tonearm will be forced to sway from side to side as they follow the groove. This impairs the stylus ability to accurately track the groove and results in a muddy sound and an unstable sonic image.
As a result, the full potential of even the highest quality systems will not be realised by the listener. Correcting this eccentricity as much as possible allows you to unlock far more of the potential performance of your equipment.
Adjustment in 3 Steps
Measurement
When the record player is rotated, the upper part of the stabilizer is held to stop the rotation of the stabilizer, and the stabilizer detects the rotation and shifts to the measurement mode.
When switch to the measurement mode, the display on the outer circumference of the stabilizer starts to rotate and the [Tap to start measure] button is displayed.
Next, when you press the [Tap to start measure] button, the display changes to the [Measuring] button and the measurement is completed in about 2 seconds.
Adjustment
Stop the record player when the measurement is complete.
Next, while looking at the stabilizer screen, press the record board to bring the cross mark (center of rotation) as close as possible to the absolute center position.
The degree of eccentricity of the record is indicated by the color of the screen (outer circumference, cross mark & display bar at the bottom).
Restart
When the center of rotation is aligned with the absolute center position, rotate the record player again to check that the eccentricity of the record is gone(or reduced) and then play the record.
Be sure to rotate the record player (33 rotations or 45 rotations) when measuring. If the record player is not spinning, the stabilizer will not be in measurement mode.

The SMARTractor is a refined alignment tool, easy to use and resulting in better sonics.
The AT617a cartridge stylus cleaner is a specially formulated polyurethane gel that gently removes dirt particles from the stylus tip when the stylus is lowered onto it.
The gel’s surface is washable and will remain tacky for years. Specifications Material: Polyurethane gel Dimensions: 37.5 mm (1.48") diameter × 17 mm (0.67").
Adhesive stylus cleaner that does not stain the needle tip with chemical substances.
The best sounding head shell in the world.
Reduces the number of contacts with the connector, makes the contact with the tone arm more solid, and increases the strength of the head shell body.
Ionizer for a quite playback.
“I can report with complete confidence that the Vinyl Ionizer ION-001 is without a doubt the most effective anti-static device I have ever used. My vinyl playback has never sounded quieter, more revealing, and more enjoyable.” — Positive feedback
The ES-001 eccentricity detection stabilizer earned high praise from analog audio enthusiasts. Inheriting its core design, the ES-002 introduces carefully considered improvements to achieve a higher level of perfection. Enhancements in structure, materials, and balance ensure superior reliability and ease of use in practical applications.
LP Stabilizer with Piezoelectric effects.
The beautifully finished precision machined nonmagnetic stainless steel base and top modules are girdled by a layer of damping carbon fiber. The bottom surface is covered with 16 concentric cushioning grooves made of an extremely effective Piezo Electric damping material.
This is a weight clamp machined from aged solid African blackwood — the same material used for clarinet horns. Its shape helps neutralize vibrations in the record during playback.
On demo !
Many clamps flatten records successfully but have very mixed results on sound quality. As a generalization, most tend to enhance and pump up the bass whilst dulling down the upper mid-band. There is also a perceived softening of dynamics (even in the bass), a slowing down of the sound and the decay of notes suffers.
Please contact us for pricing information.
The essence of the weight clamp is a rigid, solid piece of sapphire. The exceptional rigidity and resilience of sapphire help eliminate vibrations in the record caused by needle chatter and sound from the loudspeakers.
New !
The new Gravity Two record weight removes harmful vibration from your records surface, and delivers enhanced bass depth, impeccable separation, and a midrange that’s richer and clearer.
Damper isolation feet can be used under any audio component to filter structural vibrations, while also acting as noise suppressors for vibrations generated by the component itself. They are sold in sets of 3 or 4 pieces.
Every vinyl enthusiast has records in their collection, or come across LPs they’d love to own, but were just too warped for any cartridge/arm to track. The DF-2 the one-stop, one-button solution to your problems! The DF-2 provides controlled-heat perfect flattening for all your warped records, even those with only slight irregularities just enough to unsettle your cartridge and cause mistracking.
Custom machined to fit the new SL-1300G and every Technics SL-1200 version from the 1979 Mk2 and up to the latest high end models.
Limited edition mounting platform for the Low model. Custom machined to fit the skeletal plinth Rega P8/P10/Naia.
I got countless emails from customers asking how they can get our Low model to work when there is a circular hole just where it needs to be mounted.
The original model for Clearaudio, VPI, Kuzma, Dr. Feickert, McIntosh, and many more brands.
For turntables with 48-81mm from the mounting surface and up to the underside of the tonearm, measured while the stylus is in the groove.

“The Cartridge Enabler” – decoupler and azimuth adjustment to upgrade all cartridges.
As you might guess, the “Cartridge Enabler” “enables” your cartridge to operate much more effectively. Consisting of a thin material which you fit between the cartridge and headshell, this simple device is one of the most cost effective upgrades you will come across.
A platter mat upgrade is highly effective because it affects the critical interface between your vinyl records and the turntable you play them on. Experimentation with different turntable mats is simple and quick. You find the sonic differences are usually noticeable. Even if your turntable is not supplied with a platter mat, this mat will improve sound quality. Origin Live’s Platter Mat Upgrade makes a far greater difference than most others, bringing a positive difference to every aspect of the music.
New !
The Ground Anchor is a grounding box that connects your tonearm grounds to your phonostage and effectively reduces airborne, mains, system, and microphonic component noise. The Ground Anchor reduces electrical noise, improving the delicate signal produced during vinyl playback.
On demo ! The effects of this platter matt are not to be underestimated: better articulation, mid-bass, tonality and color !
You may have a turntable with a good bearing, motor drive, plinth isolation and so on but the all important interface with the Vinyl record has never been optimised. The Strata Mat will solve this issue.
The Origin Live Technics Armboard enables you to radicaly upgrade your deck to use a Rega RB250, RB300, RB600 or any Origin live arm with your Technics SL1200, SL1210 or turntable.
Tonearm Adaptor mount for Origin Live and Rega arms. This is suitible for use on Linn armboards 4mm thick and above.
This mount can also be used for fitting Origin Live arms to armboards thicker than 28mm as the arm is clamped up with a grub screw in the side, instead of the usual nut on the threaded base.
