No skin in the game but am in Cork :-) This is new and "only" €799, maybe worth considering?

The latest issue of Stereophile (I get it through the post) has an article on something called the "Flat.duo".
Here is an account of it (from positive feedback) ..
https://positive-feedback.com/indust ... t-duo/
I can't find out the price. Stereophile quotes $2,500 but that's in the US and it's made in Germany.
It claims not only to flatten but also to ..
"Vinyl LP tempering or relaxing, enhances the benefits of flattening, and creates a greater audible improvement in the quality of playback. During the 4-hour tempering treatment, the vinyl record is slowly and evenly heated up to the plateau temperature, held at this temperature, and then cooled very slowly in a controlled manner."
