Gravity Two: A New Standard in Record Weights
The Gravity Two is a re-engineered record weight designed for audiophiles seeking to elevate their turntable's performance without the compromises often associated with heavier weights. It aims to deliver enhanced sound quality across the frequency spectrum while maintaining a lightweight design.
Core Principles and Design Goals:
-
Preserve Lightweight Design: Carries over the "featherlight" nature of its predecessor, the Gravity One.
-
Amplify Sonic Benefits: Aims to enhance sound quality beyond what the Gravity One offered.
-
Rival Heavy Weight Bass: Seeks to achieve bass extension comparable to heavier weights.
-
Maintain Midrange and High-Frequency Detail: Crucially, it strives to avoid the sacrifice of midrange detail or high-frequency openness that can occur with heavier weights.
Precision Engineering and Materials:
The Gravity Two employs a multi-material construction, with each component chosen and tuned for specific sonic contributions:
-
Outer Shell: Crafted from a "meticulously selected anti-resonant polymer" (distinct from Delrin) with superior damping properties. Structural ridges are incorporated for enhanced rigidity.
-
Internal Components:
-
Lightweight Metallic Elements: Utilized for dissipating vibrational energy.
-
Layers of Wood, Composites, and Advanced Polymers: Each material is "rigorously selected for their influence on performance" and "carefully tuned to enhance your vinyl’s sound while preserving delicate nuances."
-
Key Sonic Improvements Claimed:
The Gravity Two is said to transform the listening experience with:
-
Enhanced Focus and Presence: Musical elements gain "substance and body," leading to a more immersive soundstage.
-
Lifelike Vocals: Reduces "harshness and brightness," resulting in vocals with "natural warmth and precision." This effect is attributed to the reduction of resonance.
-
Dynamic Bass: Delivers "deeper, more controlled bass with lifelike extension and decay," free from compression.
-
Refined Soundstage: Musical elements are "precisely placed against a silent, black background," eliminating the "haze of lesser weights."
Distinction from Traditional Weights:
Unlike many traditional record weights that achieve bass boost at the expense of midrange detail and treble openness, the Gravity Two aims to provide exceptional bass extension, razor-sharp focus, and a richer, more substantial midrange, revealing previously unheard details and vitality in vinyl.
