Pro-Ject designs the Flatten It machine, which is a great solution for collectors and audiophiles who are looking for something that would maintain and restore their discs to their original flat condition. The machine is developed to carefully coax warped records into the shape while preserving the soft grooves that hold the music.
It carefully fixes the physical imperfections as the device ensures that it eliminates any unnecessary sonic artifacts. The device looks like a record player with a premium heated aluminum plate -- this way, when it is evenly spread out, there are consistent results. The temperature is also a control factor as it has a low-temperature hysteresis of only 2 degrees celsius. The machine is. made from solid aluminum mateirals.
