Every vinyl enthusiast has records in their collection, or comes across LPs they’d love to own that are just too warped for any cartridge/arm to track. The Furutech DFV-1 is the one-stop, one-button solution to your problems!

The Furutech DFV-1 provides controlled-heat perfect LP flattening for all your warped records, even those with slight irregularities that are just enough to unsettle your cartridge and cause mistracking.

Warps are bad news no matter how you look at it. If the arm/cartridge remains parallel to the LP’s surface as with a flat record, VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) remains unchanged throughout every rotation. Additionally, as the arm/cartridge tracks a warp on its upside, it places greater pressure on the stylus which changes VTF (Vertical Tracking Force) until the peak of the warp, whereupon the cartridge becomes “unloaded” with too little VTF on the way down. Of course, all this muddles the sound, changing the tonal quality, imaging and soundstage characteristics of the cartridge. A flat record also tracks better with less distortion. The Furutech DFV-1 comes to the rescue!

The Furutech DFV-1 doesn’t take up much room with its space-saving, vertical design. Improved film heating technology optimizes the entire heating and cooling cycle for a perfectly flat LP that your cartridge – and YOU – will love! Just unlock and open the DFV-1, place the LP on the spindle, close and tap a single button! An LCD keeps you informed of progress with a tone sounding when done. It doesn't get much easier than that!
