Disc flattener

Has anyone experience with this?

Does it work with heavy vinyls (180/200 gr.)?

Thanks

I have no personal experience with this type of disk flattener. (The fact that they call it a Disc Flattener already means they are suspect.)

However, a friend of mine who used to be one of the better LP12 techs around recently was recently working for one of the big mail order firms who sold a unit that was basically the same. I think it was made by Furutech. He tried it and said it didn't work well. The warp was indeed flattened but the music was worse. He felt it could only make sense if it was a totally irreplaceable record that was badly warped as it would make it playable. But he recommended just replacing the record or if it was a mild warp just ignoring it. Considering the cost of these machines, you would have to need to replace a lot of badly warped records to even consider it.
