I don't have the link, sorry.

It has been my experience that the best way to cure a warp is not to.

Those that have formed by improper storage will correct themselves over time if the record is stored properly -- vertically, not leaning, with mild, equal pressure on both sides.

Those that were formed in the pressing process can't be cured no matter what you do.

The best approach is to find a cartridge that can play warped discs. The best I've found are Shure cartridges with their dynamic stabilizer. I believe the only current model they make with a stabilizer is the M97xe, which is excellent.

I like this tip from that article Uncle Erik:

Quote:

Make sure the LP is clean and put it inside a quality sleeve (Discwasher VIP sleeve, for example).


I always thought just putting an LP between the glass would be enough, but I'm sure a fresh Nagaoka sleeve wouldn't hurt much either.

Hahaha, I laugh at my own stupidity. How did I not notice that this thread had risen from the dead?
