ORB DF-01iA High-end Audio Vinyl LP Record Flattener

Please click for the excellent HI-FI Choice Review June 2014

There are some LP records that are irreplaceable. The Orb Vinyl LP Flattener is the answer 

Music fans around the world love the warm and natural sound of analogue vinyl records. Unfortunately, with long term storage of vinyl records comes shape distortion that can make your old records sound far from what they should. And even a slightly warped record might still be playable, the added pressure from the stylus will damage the groove adding noise and unnecessary wear that eventually could damage the disc. This innovative audio accessory Orb DF-01i allows you to correct the warps and avoid shape distortion and wear

Imagine if you could repair the warp on that otherwise valuable or favourite record. Now you can.

The Orb Disc Flattener uses a unique heating technique which is applied with two semiconductor heater films, one on the top and one on the bottom. By thermally controlling the heating-up phase and cooling-down phase, the warped record is allowed to properly relax and return to its original flat state. 

The machine heats only the outer edge and centre of the record. The grooves are not  heated and therefore their sonic shape is preserved. 

The entire process takes four hours; two to heat up and two to cool down.


"The Disc Flatterner Model DF-01i was definitely one product I thought the world did not need. Boy was I wrong on that. This is a must have unit for anyone with an extensive record collection...The machine is absolutely brilliant...At this stage, I've comfortably flattened 50+ records and no longer give it a second thought. I have NO problems with the unit and not one record  " - Richard Foster, Hi-Fi+, Issue 40, www.hifiplus.com
