New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?

I played it after the long hot soak. Sounded fine to me but I was playing it on a system I had just assembled. I recently returned the album to the owner. let's see what Tom has to say about the sound!

My pouch died after 3 days of use.
(purchased last week)
You may have better luck.
As nothing was flattened while it worked I have ordered a
Cuisinart TOB-195BCC Exact Heat(TM) Convection Toaster Oven
Will accommodate 12' pizzas so should be fine.
looked at reviews for the Breville Smartoven mentioned above.
Plenty of complaints of oven dying after
one year of use and next to no customer support.
The Cuisinart had the highest rating.

Update. I am being sent a new pouch.
Exceptionally good service from John at VF.

Hello guys,

I am the one with the Steely Dan "Aja" LP that had a severe warp that Wntrmute2 was kind enough to use his Vinyl Flat on.

The Vinyl Flat did an excellent job of getting the LP back to a flat and listenable LP. I think the sound quality suffered by about 25-30%. The dynamics and extension seem to have diminished. The overall sound has less life and sparkle. I am sure many of you own this LP and know how good these tracks are. Lots of percussion, stellar guitar work, horn section with great musicianship and vocals.

I would like to thank Wntrmute2 for his time and patience while he had the LP in his possession. This was a serious warp and I would have thought it near impossible to play properly, Ever! It took a lot of time and several extended sessions in the Vinyl Flat. I am happy with the results. Thank goodness I have another clean and well produced copy of Steely Dan's "Aja".

ok everyone here seems to have experimented with lps,all good and well. but i`m concerned with 45s. i haven`t had any success with the groovy pouch at all. i had a stevie wonder i wish with a pinch warp in for several hours,no change. girl watcher ABC with a severe edge warp for several hours,no change. and an aretha franklin on checker with a few pinch warps on for 11.5 hours,no change. anybody want to comment on this? i`m wondering if i should use the oven. i did a 10 min on 170 with a pinch warp motown record with no effect either. also put 2 minor warped 45s in the groovy pouch for 3-4 hours with no change.
