Mapleshade integrated Record COUPLING System

Anyone using this? I have a VPI Aries 1 turntable. I like the idea of the VPI Periphery ring but it is expensive and I would first have to upgrade my platter to a newer on that is compatable with the ring. Does the Mapleshade product help at all with playing mildy warped records or is it something else altogether? Are there any products other than the VPI periphery ring that help deal with warps?

The record between sheets of glass in the oven technique is risky; the temperature must be very low and the record should not be in the oven for more than a few of minutes, otherwise you risk melting it. Experiement with inexpensive records first if you wish to try this.

Geoffkait,

low temp yes, short time no. One way to be careful is to put it in the oven and put the heat on for your few minutes and then let the record sit there for several hours with the heat off. If that is not enough, you may need to periodically reheat the oven. the trick is to get the temp low enough. Ovens vary here. The glass insulates the LP in this regard.
