GRAVITY TWO REVIEWS
“…believe me it’s not just different it’s a whole new ball game, I’ve no idea of how much it is or when it’ll be released, but will say whatever it cost’s isn’t going to be too much, I think it’s priceless for the improvements it makes.” Read More – Full Review

GRAVITY ONE REVIEWS
“This upgrade could be roughly compared to doubling the cost of any component in your stereo system.” Read More – Full Review >
10 Audio, 2020
“…the Gravity One is all about noise reduction, adding discipline to all frequencies, opening up the soundstage, infusing it with air, detail and clarity. As I say, I thought my own hi-fi had reached a state of perfection. Perfection in its price range maybe, but within those limits yes, perfection. Then the Origin Live Gravity One toddled along and proved me wrong. I was very happy to be put in my place by this little accessory. And no, Origin Live, you can’t have it back. Now I’ve heard what this thing does…” Read More > Full Review

“With the Gravity One, there is an unmistakable cleaning up of the pounding lower frequencies, which sound punchier, tighter and extended deeper than normal.” Hi-Fi Choice, February 2021 Read the full review >
“To sum it up, I would say that the Gravity allows the air around vocals and instruments to illuminate the musician’s skills, and as an added bonus it digs the depths of bass allowing the listener to hear the character of both the instrument and player. A truly exciting and excellently produced accessory that I would not be without.” Read More Owner Comments > Jeff King
“It’s a big thumbs up on the record weight! There’s certainly no smoke and mirrors, it just does what it says on the tin, you always deliver on your promises at Origin Live.” Read More Owner Comments > Paul Carter
“…It will give a totally new and fresh insight into what was originally recorded so much so that recordings you thought you knew, you didn’t know at all” Read the full review >

Description
Many clamps flatten records successfully but have mixed results on sound quality. Generally, your average heavy weight will pump up the bass but dull down the upper mid-band and majorly limit top-end openness. There is 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 we’ve tested turntable record weight designs (both ours and 3rd parties) and never came across a weight or clamp which enhanced sound quality without detriment to crucial aspects of the performance. Then one year we were sharing a room at a show with the importer of the Shun Mook record weight. To our astonishment, this actually worked and enhanced everything in the music with no detriment. The only problem was that it cost £2000.
This experience got us thinking, and after some design experiences with previously untested materials, we felt it was worth trying again. This R&D produced the Gravity One.
Building on the success of the Gravity One, we kept experimenting with the design of a record weight. This produced a complete ground-up redesign: the Gravity Two.
Precision Engineering:
Unparalleled Sound
- Innovative Outer Cover: Optimal damping is achieved with a specially selected anti-resonant polymer (which for once isn’t Delrin). Structural ridges enhance the rigidity of the casework.
- Advanced Internal Construction: The tuned assembly absorbs vibrational energy pumped into the record by the stylus – dissipating it through the vibrational interference of lightweight metallic parts with precision-cut profiles, combined with layers of wood, composites, and polymers.

Sound
The Gravity Two transforms your listening experience with:
- Enhanced Focus and Presence: Every musical element gains substance and body, creating a more immersive soundstage.
- Lifelike Vocals: Harshness and brightness present at times in the music are reduced, leaving vocals that flow with natural warmth and precision. Until you have heard this effect, one thinks that harsh edges are in the recording but this is the effect of resonance.
- Dynamic Bass: Experience 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.
Unlike traditional heavy record weights that boost bass at the expense of midrange detail and treble openness, the Gravity Two builds on the legacy of the Gravity One. It delivers exceptional bass extension, razor-sharp focus, and a richer, more substantial midrange, revealing details and vitality in your vinyl that you’ve never heard before
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.
