PatheWings PW-S1050 record player clamp makes records fit tighter to the turntable, significantly improving the sound quality.
Most of vinyl discs are thin and flexible, and often distorted or wrinkled. Since most of vinyl’s doesn't adhere to the turntable platter, sound reproduction suffers from lack of resonance damping vinyl which provides to flutter of the sound. Some of the vinyl’s are having contact with the outer edge of the turntable platter instead of the middle. Conversely, the vinyl’s disc which are folded or bent upwards, seem to sway the plate. Stabilizers made by PatheWings solve the above problems, resulting in better contact between vinyl and turntable platter.
"I have been using the clamps from PatheWings during my turntable reviews for over a year and I've been very happy with them. The new design, much heavier, is also better made. Or maybe it just seems so to me? In any case, it is perfect. I’ve already used it with several turntables, including the currently reviewed Pre-audio BT-1301 and each time several features were repeated. First of all, the sound would "sit down" lower and it was deeper. There was no less treble but the background blackness, which we understand as a "silence" between the notes, was incomparably more smooth and velvety. The sound became even more vivid and simply more refined. Even if a turntable sounded good without the clamp, or seemed fine with other proprietary clamps (like Transrotor), after using the PW-S1050 I had no desire to listen with anything else. And the fact that it is an exclusive, expensive accessory only increases its value. As a matter off fact, audio is the space where music has its context and this context are audio products used for its playback. They must be not only faithful to the spirit of the music, but give it a proper setting. PatheWings products are simply outstanding. You just need to select the proper clamp weight to your turntable, as "heavier" not always means "better". I will have a closer look at the mats some other time, but if the clamps are so good, why should the mats be any different?"

When replacing your existing plastic, vinyl or aluminum clamp, be prepared to increase your previous experience of listening the music to a whole new level by using our PW-S650 Classic.
• Stabilize record and prevent the vertical oscillation of the turntable arm.
• Improves control over the various ranges of bandwidth.
• Obtains stable acoustic scene.
• The sound is more dynamic with more powerful bass.
• There is more details within more precise music scene.
• The sound becomes more accurate.
• Stable movement of turntable plate provides the lack of plate rolling sound and no change in frequency of reading the signal.
By creating PatheWings assortments we strive to achieve the perfect sound, which gives us the ability to achieve the highest quality products.
We do not shape aluminum, metal and plastic. We create and build turntables and associated accessories. With great attention to detail we make our products from materials that offer the best features for our requirements.
Not the weight of the stabilizer ensures damage to the turntable but the poor weight distribution and the wrong shape because uneven distribution of the weight of the stabilizer, changes the axis of plate rotation, due to the centrifugal force acting. The same will happen even with minimal shifting the axis of rotation on the clamp (imprecisely made a hole to stick it on the turntable spindle, changing any angle during reaming, etc.), because the rotation of the plate as well as the forces acting on it will be unevenly spread across the plate surface. In worst cases it can lead to micro-vibrations that are transmitted to the needle and drive, shortening their life span.
A poorly balanced wheel of a car can damage the suspension of the car, so a poor weight distribution can be just as damaging to the turntable.
Equally important is density – mass of the material (the distance between the atoms) which clamp is made of. It the material has to suppress the vibration the density can not be low.

PatheWings PW-S1050 Classic Plattenspieler Stabilisator drückt die Schalplatten fester an die Drehscheibe, eine deutliche Verbesserung der Klangqualität.
Die meisten Schallplatten sind dünn und flexibel und oft verformt oder faltig, dadurch liegen sie nicht mit der kompletten Flache am Plattenteller. Die Konsequenz ist das die Wiedergabe aus Mangel an Resonanzdämpfung ein Flattern des Klangs bewirkt. Manche Vinylplatten haben mehr Kontakt mit dem äußeren Rand des Plattentellers und andere wiederum weiter in der Mitte. Einige Vinylplatten machen den Anschein auf dem Plattenteller zu schaukeln. Stabilisatoren der Firma PatheWings wurden dafur entwickelt die genannten Probleme zu losen indem sie die Vinylplatte starker an den Plattenteller drucken.

Bei der Entwicklung von PatheWings Produkten bemühen wir uns ständig den perfekten Sound zu finden, was uns die Möglichkeit bietet Produkte von höchster Qualität zu erreichen.
Wir bearbeiten kein Aluminium, Metall oder Kunststoff. Wir bauen und entwickeln Plattenspieler und das dazugehörige Zubehör.
Mit viel Liebe zum Detail stellen wir unsere Produkte aus Materialien die die besten Eigenschaften für unsere hohen Anforderungen bieten.
Nicht das Gewicht des Stabilisators sorgt für Beschädigungen am Plattenspieler sondern die schlechte Gewichtsverteilung und die falsche Form. Schlechte Gewichtsverteilung bewirkt aufgrund der Zentrifugalkraft eine Unwucht am Teller.
Das gleiche wird bei ungenauer Bohrung des Drehmittelpunktes passieren da die Drehung der Platte sowie die auf sie einwirkenden Kräfte ungleichmäßig über die Oberfläche verteilt werden, in den schlimmsten Fällen kann es zu Mikro-Vibrationen die an die Nadel und den Antrieb übertragen werden können, was die Verkürzung ihrer Lebensdauer bedeuten kann. Ein schlecht ausgewogenes Rad eines Autos kann die Aufhängung des Wagens beschädigen, so eine schlechte Gewichtsverteilung kann genauso den Plattenspieler beschädigen.
Der Abstand zwischen den Atomen sollte so gering wie möglich sein wenn Vibrationen vermieden werden sollen.
