The Revolution is a Record / Spindle damping device featuring an integral spirit level. It is manufactured from Acrylic and Sorbothane, and is designed to effectively damp the record and turntable spindle, without disturbing the balance of suspended sub-chassis turntables.
It acts in a similar way to a clamp - the sorbothane base 'grips' the spindle and 'clings' to the record label. Unlike a conventional clamp though, it does not exert undue pressure on the record stressing the surface of the vinyl. We call it a 'Soft Clamp'.
The theory behind damping the record is to absorb or minimise: 1. The vibration picked up by the record acoustically - a good example of this is if you tap the label. 2. The vibration transmitted to the record from the motor / main bearing. 3. That generated by the stylus itself, when tracing the modulations in the groove.
The ideal is to damp the record without resorting to any method that unduly distorts the surface of the vinyl. The most elegant solution is to use The Revolution - preferably in conjunction with our Silicone Platter Mat.
The Revolution also features a 20mm circular spirit level (in the optimum position - the centre of the platter) which will allow you to perfectly level your deck, minimising tracking error, wow and motor / bearing noise.
We carried out extensive listening tests during the development of this product, and experienced impressive sound quality improvements on every turntable... Improvements you can expect are a quieter, smoother sound with firmer, more tuneful Bass. The Revolution also makes vocals more articulate and detailed, as well as reducing surface noise.
The Revolution is 80mm diameter, 22mm high and weighs 78g. It will accept spindles that project up to 11mm above the record label. If you have a longer than average spindle, you will need the Deep Base model - this will accept spindles up to 21mm above the record label, and weighs 134g. Please state which model you require when ordering - there is no extra charge for the Deep Base model, but you should only order this if your spindle requires it, due to the additional weight.
You may wish to purchase a Silicone Platter Mat at the same time. If so, there is no extra postage to pay. See our other auctions.

" Just thought I would tell you that everything has arrived in perfect condition, and that I could not resist trying out the mat and the clamp, even on my Luxman PD-289, which is a moderate quality direct drive TT, with a good MM cartridge (Supex S100 E). The clamp has almost cured the problem I had been having on some records of the inner tracks distorting. Then I tried the (silicone) mat and the clamp. The mat seems to be holding the record perfectly, as the voices of the King's college choir have all moved into the room, individually and together. Sometimes I think there is magic involved; as an engineer I know you have contributed to ensuring the needle tracks much better. Regards and thanks. " J. L. (

" I've tried the products and find that the LP12 accessories are not really accessories more like neccessities. The reduction in surface noise and increase in detail is astonishing.The bass in retrospect might have been a bit muddled but has now tightened up considerably letting me hear more mid and treble.This is really noticeable playing a record like 'LIVE AT LEEDS' by JOHN MARTYN. Danny Thomsons bass notes are much more clearly defined and as a result JOHN MARTYNS guitar work and vocals are much easier to hear, the detail's amazing, the soundstaging being so much better. In fact i've been listening to quite a lot of music featuring Danny Thomson, one being 'The colour of Spring' by Talk Talk. I thought this record was knackered until I washed it, now it sounds absolutely marvellous. Thanks again Stuart." D.H. came down from Scotland to collect a Record Cleaning machine, together with a Platter Damping Ring, Silicone Mat and Revolution Soft Clamp for his LP12. I received these comments two days later.
