DF02

About the DF02

The ORB DF-02 is a professional-grade record flattener that uses precise temperature control and gradual heating and cooling to relax and flatten warped or dished vinyl records. It is highly regarded for its ability to restore vinyl discs without damaging the grooves, thereby improving playback quality and preserving the record's sonic integrity. The DF-02 is essentially the same machine as the Furutech DF-2, rebranded, and has been praised by users for its reliability and effectiveness over many years. It supports standard LP sizes and uses a heating plate with a maximum temperature around 65 degrees Celsius, with overcurrent and fuse protection for safety. The unit weighs approximately 17 kg and measures about 475 mm wide, 75 mm high, and 554 mm deep. It is powered by 110-125V AC at 50-60Hz with a maximum power consumption of 300W. The device is designed to be used carefully, as some very old or fragile vinyl formulations may not respond well to heat. Overall, the DF-02 is considered one of the best tools for audiophiles seeking to restore warped vinyl records to playable condition.
