The ones on Turntable Lab look sweet, but $45.00 seems kinda pricey. Maybe I'm just being cheap.
I mean, it's no bargain, that's for sure. I think, over time, if these prove popular, the price may come down. If I recall, the main reason why they're so expensive right now is b/c the start-up production costs are $$$.

That's for a pair I believe and that's a pretty good price. I check them out in person today too and they seem pretty sturdy, much more than the OG SX2 jawns.
I almost ordered a pair of these from a record store in japan about two years ago and the price was about ten bucks higher at the time. seems like 45 is around going rate.
on a side note this same product was going to be my senior year thesis project in my industrial design program 4 years ago. I shoulda ran with that!
i prefer the cones (both red plastic and steel). toss a disc in the vicinity of the spindle and the cone catches it. it doesn't have to be fitted like the metal ones that come with Technics 1200's.

The metal half balls do the same, but they're SUPER HEAVY so there's no way that the 45 will slip UNDER teh adaptor... this has happened to me a few times and it's UGLY.

i'm with you on that. Dub Vendor in London sells some heavy, heavy ones with rasta colors. those are the most deluxe centers i've seen, highly functional and they look fresh.

If so, they look like they'd work well.

Twisted Nerve released their dinked 45 slipmats in 2001, I think.
