About this item
- Elevated Sound Quality - Keep your records stable while increasing their contact with the platter. Our record weight for vinyl reduces resonance while improving your LPs' trackability. The vinyl weight reduces the transfer of unwanted vibrations to the stylus for better sound detail and tighter bass.
- Protects from Scratches & Ensures Even Weight Distribution - The Hudson Hi-Fi 13-ounce record weight is a fine addition to your turntables & accessories. It's made from solid steel with an exquisite chrome finish and a vegan leather protective pad that serves as a buffer between your record and the turntable weight.
- Precise Craftsmanship - Our BigBen record weight has the right amount of weight to dampen vibrations. We carefully crafted them for the ideal amount of pressure without causing any wear, damage, or overloading your turntable.
- Listen to Your Favorite Albums - Do your LPs justice. This record weight stabilizer is a better alternative compared to a turntable weight clamp in keeping your vinyl records flat for cleaner playback, less distortion, and impeccable stylus tracking. The right weight and pressure of our turntable weight also help prevent your LPs from warping.
- Record Player Accessories Designed in NYC - Our turntable weight was created and proudly enjoyed by a passionate team of designers, engineers, producers, musicians, and Hi-Fi enthusiasts. These and the rest of our offerings aim to share the passion for music NYC has instilled in us with all fellow audiophiles worldwide.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024
I found that the MoFi (standard) Record Weight, 'engineered for use with the turntable,' weighs 13 oz., and subsequently discovered the Hudson "Big Ben" Record Weight, which also weighs in at 13 oz., but whose cost was under 30 bucks, not 200, like the MoFi model! I purchased the Big Ben and immediately noticed a stark sonic improvement! The bass is much more well-defined, and the music sounds much better overall. Physically speaking, the Big Ben has a passing resemblance to its overpriced (in my opinion) competitor, with the bottom of the Big Ben fitted with a faux, leather pad to avoid damaging the record label, fitting comfortably over the spindle of my turntable. It also looks good.
Although I cannot close the dust cover of my turntable during LP playback, due to the additional height of the weight, many 'purist' turntables' dust covers lift off (rather than being hinged), making the playing of records impossible with it on (in those cases), along with the fact that many audiophiles prefer the sound with the dust cover off.
Overall, this weight looks and works great! Only you (and perhaps your sharp-eyed, audiophile buddies, noticing the absence of the trademark on the product) will know the difference between it and its overpriced competition.
