Oyaide STB-MSX Adjustable weight vinyl stabilizer for timbre tuning on turntables

Description

The Oyaide STB-MSX is a high-end, adjustable vinyl stabilizer engineered not just to flatten records—but to fine-tune the tonal character of your analog playback. It blends mechanical damping with timbre customization, offering serious audiophiles both performance and control.

Basic

”STB-MSX” is the original vinyl stabilizer produced with innovation concepts.
It is composed by detachable 10 parts and its weight is changeable by the number of the weights for your best timbre tuning. And with the optional carbon weight, “STB-CM” series, it can be equipped according to your taste.

Furthermore, “STB-MSX” can be used as 7″ vinyl adapter by flipping it upside down.

Features

Additional Tone Control Adjustment by Changing Weight Combination

STB-MXS is composed by 10 parts and can be assembled/disassembled by users. (top disk x 1, bottom disk x 1, weight x 6, central axis x 1, weight spacer x 1)

The total weight of the stabilizer can be customized for your favorite timbre tuning. In addition, with Oyaide’s turntable rubber mat “MJ-12”, it generates a synergistic effect for getting better sound quality.

Hybrid Materials of Aluminum, Brass, Carbon and Rubber

The combination of the hybrid material of aluminum, brass, carbon and rubber optimizes the vibration mode. It attenuates various vibrations by platter rotation and enhances the trace of the grooves.

Furthermore, the carbon weight spacer damps mutual interference of vibration. The STB-MXS extracts information on the vinyl maximally.

7″ Vinyl Stabilizer by Flipping Upside Down

STB-MXS can be used as an 7″ vinyl stabilizer by flipping upside down. Due to the convex with tapered edge, it fits smoothly to the donuts hole of 7″ vinyl records.

 

⚙️ Key Features

✅ Adjustable Weight System

• Comes with three brass modules that can be added or removed to vary mass.

• Allows you to tune the mechanical impedance between record, platter, and tonearm.

• Heavier setting increases stability; lighter setting may offer more agility in sound.

✅ Timbre Tuning

• Changing weight alters how vibrations and micro-resonances are absorbed or transmitted.

• You can subtly shape bass impact, midrange openness, or treble sharpness depending on setup.

✅ Non-Invasive

• Sits on the spindle like a puck — no need to screw or clamp down.

• Compatible with most turntables, including belt and direct drive (check spindle clearance before use).

✅ Premium Build

• CNC-machined aluminum and brass, precision-balanced

• Non-slip underside minimizes vibration transfer to vinyl surface

🔊 Sound Impact

Depending on how you configure it, users report:

• Tighter, more focused bass

• Greater midrange clarity

• Reduced surface noise

• Improved groove tracking for slightly warped records

---

🧠 Ideal For:

• Audiophiles who want to experiment with system voicing

• Turntables without built-in clamps or with non-weighted platters

• Fine-tuning resonance behavior in high-resolution analog rigs

---

🛠️ Pro Tips:

• Try with different vinyl pressings — some records respond better to lighter or heavier mass.

• Combine with a high-performance turntable mat (like carbon, cork-rubber, or sorbothane) for full vibration control.

• Store unused brass rings carefully to avoid misplacing them.
