 Origin Live GRAVITY ONE Record Weight 

 

The Gravity One record weight removes harmful vibration from your records surface, which significantly improves the sound quality in your system.

 

Description
Many clamps flatten records successfully but have very mixed results on sound quality. As a generalization, most tend to enhance and pump up the bass whilst dulling down the upper mid-band. There is also a perceived softening of dynamics (even in the bass), a slowing down of the sound and the decay of notes suffers.

For 25 years or so Origin Live have tested turntable record weight designs (both their own and 3rd parties) and never come across a weight or clamp which enhanced sound quality. Then one year they were sharing a room at the Indulgence show with the importer of the Shun Mook record weight. To their astonishment, this actually worked and enhanced everything in the music with no downside. The only problem was that it cost £2000.

This experience got Origin Live thinking and after some interesting design experiences with previously untested materials they thought it worth trying again.

 

Sound
The result is a turntable record weight which makes a significant contribution to improving bass definition, weight and depth but it also enhances the mid-band and treble through better separation, transparency and decay of notes. This is where most other clamps cause degradation but the Origin Live clamp excels.

Origin Live are so pleased with the results that they now offer this as an upgrade for all other decks. As with so many OL products, this carries a guarantee of satisfaction or your money back. If you wish to hear what a well-designed turntable record weight can do for your sound quality please place an order. Should you be anything other than delighted with the results just return the clamp for a full refund.

Possible Objections
My deck will be different to the one you tested the clamp on so there is there any guarantee of improvement?

This a valid concern, however, a record clamp is primarily in contact with the record rather than your deck. Although the deck will affect the vibration of the record, the effect of exerting control from the top side of the record is different. To test this point we tried the clamp on:

Solid platters
Platters topped with felt mats
Suspended decks
Non suspended decks
In all cases, the improvements of the record weight were the same as listed above.

The record weight is actually a very low mass of around 70 grams and will not upset suspended turntables.

 

 

Origin Live GRAVITY ONE Record Weight

£210.00Price
  • Specifications

     

    Dimensions: 80mm diameter x 25mm height.
     

    Weight: 67 grams.

     

    Perfectly fits spindles between 8.5mm to 23mm in height (where height is measured between the top of the record and the very top of the spindle).


    If your spindle is lower than 8.5mm the weight will work fine but not make contact with the spindle. This means its centrality will depend on your positioning it by eye. Centrality makes no difference to performance but can sometimes not look as nice due to the off-centre movement as the platter rotates.
