Vinyl Accesories
Turntables are the most tweakable bit of hifi kit. There is no shortage of things you can do to improve the performance of your deck, from isolation to gripping the disc better. Here’s some of the things that don’t fit neatly into one of the other categories.

Acoustic Signature Load
A high quality, perfectly machined record weight made by German manufacturer, Acoustic Signature.
This will squish down the waviest of records improving their sound quality.
At a mere 280g, it won't put pressure on the bearing.
The extra weight and dampening qualities of the Load S do, however, go further to support cartridge tracking and the overall performance improvement of your turntable.
Acoustic Signature weights and clamps are designed to be used with a range of different turntables not only Acoustic Signature models.

IsoAcoustics zaZen I Isolation Platform
As a kid growing up in a HiFi store and taking dance classes, when customers had left the store (sometimes when they were still there), I would dance around the shop stupidly. Practicing my moves, trying my pirouettes. I'm glad we didn't have smart phones back then as I'm sure there would be lots of video evidence if we did!
And the amount of times there was that skipping record sound stopped me in my tracks with the feeling of 'uh oh, now I've broken something...'
Even if you don't have quite the same urges to bust out contemporary ballet moves to Peter Gabriel, Turntable Isolation is very important! And the difference that a zaZen makes on a Rega turntable is palpable.
Increased bass, increased detail...all the good things. If you'd like a $399 upgrade for your turntable, take one of these.

Acoustic Signature Grip Mk3
The Grip Mk3 offers a clamping solution to more precisely lock down a record onto the turntable platter than something like a simple record weight.
Unlike other manufacturers that require you to completely unscrew the clamp, the Grip Mk3 only requires a quarter turn making changing sides or records a breeze.
With the Grip Mk3, you'll notice much improved cartridge tracking and eliminate the sound degradation of wavy records.
The Grip Mk3 has been designed to be used on other turntables that aren't Acoustic Signature as well.

Ortofon Hi-Fi LH-10000 Headshell
The LH-10000 is an exceptionally high quality headshell made using a high performance Aluminum alloy with Zinc as the primary alloying element. The Aluminum alloy used for LH-10000 is strong, with strength comparable to steel. It has good fatigue strength and machinability, but offers more resistance to corrosion than many other Aluminum alloys.

Acoustic Signature Load S

Acoustic Signature Grip S
As opposed to a simple weight on the platter, the Grip S precisely locks the record to the platter with less stress on the bearing and turntable.
Unlike other clamps that require a full unscrewing to take off, all that is needed with the Grip S is a simple quarter turn. Swapping sides and records becomes a lot less arduous.
Acoustic Signature also includes the silencers in the Grip S. These copper inserts that are pressed into the Grip S dampen any residual resonances on the platter for an even better performance.
With this precise way of locking down the record, cartridge tracking is improved and any uneveness in the record itself is eliminated.
