Overview

The Pro-Ject Record Puck is a solid brass weight that presses down on the center of a vinyl record to secure it firmly against the turntable platter. Improving that contact between record and platter is the whole idea: a tighter coupling means less unwanted vibration and more accurate timing and depth from your system.

At 800g, packed into a compact 78mm-diameter, 26mm-tall disc, it adds enough mass to make a real difference without being unwieldy. That same mass also helps a slightly warped record sit flatter against the platter during playback, which can mean fewer tracking issues on an imperfect pressing.

Because it works by adding weight rather than clamping the spindle, it's built for turntables designed to carry that extra load — Pro-Ject specifically recommends it for its RPM, Signature, and Xtension series.

Since the Record Puck relies on mass resting on the platter and bearing, it's only recommended for turntables engineered for that extra load. For a lighter or more compact deck, Pro-Ject's own Clamp-It is the safer choice — it grips the spindle instead of adding weight to the platter.

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

• Owners of High-Mass Platter Turntables: A natural fit for Pro-Ject's RPM, Signature, and Xtension series decks.
• Listeners Chasing Tighter Timing and Depth: For anyone who wants firmer coupling between record and platter.
• Collectors with Slightly Warped Records: Helps an imperfect pressing sit more consistently during play.

How It Compares

For turntables that aren't built to carry the added mass of a puck, Pro-Ject's Clamp-It achieves a similar goal by gripping the spindle rather than resting weight on the platter and bearing, making it the better choice for lighter or more compact decks.
