The Heliopad Luna improves coupling between record and platter mat and reduces unwanted vibration. Soundstage becomes deeper, bass gets tighter, fine details more revealed, dynamics increased, distortion reduced*.

*One purpose of a weight or clamp is to close gaps between records and mat, but also importantly it prevents the record from slipping maintaining firm continuous contact with the platter. Particularly during passages containing a lot of bass the drag of the cartridge on the record can cause slight slipping on the platter and the vinyl should be held firmly against the platter to reproduce sound correctly.

  • Achieves better contact between the record and the platter mat.
  • Flattens mild record warps and trackability of less than perfectly flat records is greatly improved.
  • Promotes a stable sound image, tightens bass and provides better instrument focus.
  • Better transient response and less distortion.
  • Deeper sound stage.

The Luna record weight is designed functionally and ergonomically, manufactured with precision in Europe and finished with a brilliant mirror look.

The record weight is made of 6061-T6 aircraft grade Aluminum alloy, combination of Silicon-Copper-Magnesium and other metals with Aluminum.

Precision CNC machined in a factory where drilling heads for geological companies are manufactured.

Ergonomically sized circular groove ensure the safe handling against accidental drop. The 417 gram weight complies with the most turntables regardless the drive. 86 mm maximum diameter is safe for automatic tonearm pick-up mechanisms. The 30 mm deep center hole with 7.28 mm diameter fits to every standard record player. Bottom surface is concave for optimal load on record as close as possible to the rim of the label recess. Central height is 40 mm.

The weight is polished and buffed for brilliant mirror look then coated with thin silicone layer protecting against corrosion, but still with a metallic touch. Due to its elaborated design, finger tip friendly grip and high luster it is one of a kind.

This listing is for one Heliopad Luna record weight made of aluminum (silver color!), which comes with a thick velvet pouch for safe storage. Nothing else can be seen in the pictures is included.

You can see further pictures in my other listing running parallel with this one.

Please note! With no automatic tonearm pick-up mechanism wide bodied cartridges may reach the record weight in the innermost groove in rare cases. So please check the clearance of your cartridge in the innermost groove before buying the Luna. (Headshells 12mm (1/2”) above the record have enough clearance due to the circular groove of the record weight.) With automatic and adjustable tonearm pick-up systems the Luna works flawlessly.
