Turntable Accessories

Turntable accessories are anything that makes a good turntable even calmer, more precise or more convenient – from the platter mat to the record weight to the external power supply. Some fix a real problem like resonance or dirty power, others are fine-tuning for enthusiasts who've already got almost everything right.

Platter mats made of felt or cork noticeably change tonal character and surface noise, record weights press slightly warped LPs flat onto the platter, and a linear or battery power supply from Clearaudio replaces the supplied wall adapter with a noticeably cleaner drive. Honestly: not every accessory is worth it for every turntable – on an entry-level deck, a statement power supply for 3,500 francs achieves little, while on a reference deck it can provide the final polish.

At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll tell you honestly what does something for your turntable and what doesn't. You'll also find matching items among record cleaning, cartridges and power supplies.

Frequently asked questions

Does an external power supply really make an audible difference?
For many turntables, yes – a calmer, more even drive reduces rumble and speed fluctuations. High-quality decks that are already properly set up benefit the most.
