I sent some records for "flatening" to a place that had this machine. All I can say is I'd rather have had the warped records. This is only my experience. There are crackles all over that were not previously. Warps are'nt usually audible unless severe, surface noise is more audible. Is the tradeoff worth it? you be the judge. Send some warped ones you know well to Elusive disc to be flatened (not sure if they still do it, this was awhile ago). Find out for yourself. Unless the needle is jumping out of the groove, or you play real loud and maybe woofers are going to pop out of cabinet, warps are livable. I'm starting to wonder if dealers are not using this thing on certain warped 180/200 gram new vinyl. I had a few warped ones that played fairly quiet, and all the flat ones crackled.
