Warped vinyl doesn't have to be a death sentence for your favorite records! The ORB Audio DF-01iA+ Record Flattener gently coaxes bowed, bent, and heat-warped LPs back to dead-flat in just a few hours — no butchered grooves, no compromised sound, just your collection playing like it should. If you've got a bowed pressing that skips, wobbles, or throws your tonearm for a ride, this is the fix serious vinyl heads have been waiting for. 💿

Here's the honest part: we don't just sell this thing — we swear by it. Our in-house DF-01iA+ runs every single day here at STOKYO, flattening warped records nonstop, and it performs flawlessly every time. That's not marketing fluff — that's a machine we personally trust with records we care about. When we tell you it works, it's because we watch it work daily.

Why It Belongs in Your Setup
  • Rescues records you thought were toast → Gently warms and applies uniform pressure to flatten warps without degrading audio quality. Your grooves stay intact, your sound stays true.
  • Set it and trust it → Automatic heating temperature adjustment dials in the right heat every time, so you get consistent, optimal results without babysitting the process.
  • Even heat, edge to edge → Semiconductor film built into both the top and bottom heaters spreads warmth evenly across the whole disc — no hot-spotting, no uneven flattening.
  • Handles your heavyweight pressings → Includes adapters for flat-edge discs without groove guards, so your 180g audiophile pressings are covered.
  • Fits your whole collection → Multi-size adapters for 7" EP, 7", 10", and 12" records mean nearly your entire shelf is welcome.
How It Works

Vinyl is sensitive to heat, which is exactly why records warp over time — poor storage, sunlight, or just plain aging pulls them out of shape. The DF-01iA+ flips that same principle in your favor. Its dual semiconductor-film heaters apply gentle, even warmth from top and bottom while uniform pressure eases the record back to flat. The result? A restored disc that spins true and sounds the way it did the day it was pressed.

Compatibility

Built for standard PVC vinyl in 7", 10", and 12" — both groove-guard and flat-edge records, including most 180g audiophile pressings.

Not compatible with: shellac SP / 78 rpm records or flexi discs.
