Looking forward to hearing Peter Frampton Band. Saw his interview on Sunday Morning a few weeks ago. I forget the physical issue he has/ having but in any case, he’s trying to play/put out as much music now before he’s unable to do so. He really is/was a great figure in rock, and seemingly an overall nice guy.
Featuring:Rob Arthur, Adam Lester, Dan Wojciechowski.

I have to ask as you seem to have to flatten a lot of vinyl.
Are they to the point of being unplayable or just unacceptable to your high standards?

Out of all my collection I probably only had 5 albums that I deemed unplayable due to warpage.
This is when I then invented the FF ( Florida Flattener).

I already had an old table that I just used to clean vinyl on the platter and had a light bulb moment.

What if I placed a warped record on said platter and then placed  another inverted platter on top and place out in the Florida sun on gas mark 6 for a couple hours.

I have to say it worked a treat, after all just heat and pressure right?
@uberwaltz,

I do have high standards. Also, I want to hear, as close as possible, my set-up. This requires a flat record. Since I report on what I’m listening to, I feel like I need to relay to others my best judgement.

An additional comment...I’ve listened quite a lot with/without clamps, different weights and such. I never bought a peripheral ring out of fear I’d screw up a cantilever. Having said that, I like the sound of records on my mat/s, then with my Stillpoints LP-1. A clamp connects to the bearing, which in my mind, we are all trying to get away from? So having a flat lp is critical to the sound I think is best.

What is "gas mark 6"?
It's an English thing.
It's a heat setting on a stove, we never used degrees f settings like you have here on electric stoves.
It was nearly all natural gas in England.

I guess it's more an "in" joke that maybe only I get ... Lol
