オーディオテクニカ「ディスク・スタビライザ AT666」カタログ

Booklet for the Audio-Technica AT666, a vacuum record stabilizer with a manual suction pump, pressure indicator and 1.4 kg plate. The wonderfully audiophile idea was to pull the record flat against the turntable platter and give it a pressure-equivalent hold of about 250 kg effective mass. Audio-Technica claimed this would reduce wow and flutter, surface noise, vibration and howling, while making cartridge and tonearm differences easier to hear.

AT666は、レコードの音溝にあくまでも忠実な再生音を得るための終止符的アクセサリとして開発されたサクション・ディスク・スタビライザです。吸着力は盤面圧力換算で250kg(基準値)。レコードを強力に吸着し、スタビライザ・プレートと全面一体化することによって、レコードのソリを抑え、剛性と質量を高め、ターンテーブルの慣性能率を増して、限りなくカッティング時に近い状態でのレコード再生を可能にしてくれます。The AT666 is a suction disc stabilizer developed as a finishing accessory for obtaining playback faithful to the record groove above all. Suction force is 250 kg in terms of pressure on the disc surface (reference value). By strongly gripping the record and becoming fully integrated with the stabilizer plate, it suppresses record warp, raises rigidity and mass, increases the turntable’s moment of inertia, and makes it possible to play records in a state as close as possible to that at the time of cutting.
