Why We Made a Record Weight That Weighs Almost Nothing | Origin Live

Do record weights actually improve vinyl playback — or can they make your sound slower, flatter and less natural? David and Mark Baker from Origin Live explain the design thinking behind the Gravity Two record weight, a lightweight design developed to control vibration without the sonic drawbacks of typical designs based on excessive mass. This video explores how energy from the cartridge stylus excites the record's surface and causes vibration, why some clamp and weight designs can deaden the sound, and how the right approach can bring greater clarity, openness and bass definition. 🔗 Explore the Gravity Two Record Weight → https://www.originlive.com/hi-fi-acce... 🔗 Browse Tonearms & Turntables → https://www.originlive.com/ 📧 Need system advice?
