Furutech - Elite DF-2 - LP Flattener

The Furutech DF-2 LP Flattener is a precision tool for the treatment of vinyl records that allows users to restore a warped vinyl record to a playable, flat state. A warped vinyl record can cause many problems while playing it back such as tracking error, unstable VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle), and an inconsistent stylus pressure across the record surface which adversely affects the sound quality and stability while it is being played. The DF-2 is constructed from premium materials which provide a controlled heat source and a precise thermal cycle to achieve the desired flattening of the vinyl record, thereby improving the playback performance of a cherished record which otherwise would be unplayable due to distortion caused by warping.

Designed specifically for vinyl enthusiasts and audiophiles, the DF-2 incorporates a simple-to-use push-button interface and an integrated LCD screen which shows progress through the first two flattening cycles. The DF-2 is vertically oriented allowing it to save space and provides ample room to accommodate both a standard 12" LP and heavier pressings. Its advanced heating film technology provides precise temperature regulation across the entire surface of the LP and controls the heating and cooling cycles for consistent, reliable results without damaging the grooves of the record.

Although compact in size, the DF-2 is designed to withstand the rigours of use and is manufactured with a specially designed thermal cavity and alignment guides which hold the record securely in place during treatment. Ideal for collectors who wish to continue to enjoy both vintage and modern vinyl records, this product is suited for both personal and professional use, as it provides a solution for preserving vintage or modern LPs from distortion caused by skipping. Caution should be taken when using the DF-2 to treat very light-weight or ultra-thin vinyl (less than 110g).
