If you want much better bass response from your system, greater low-frequency extension and control, and a much-improved sense of overall “weight” and tonal richness, try one of these. STEREOPHILE May 2003 Analog Corner

F2 - TITANIUM Heavyweight counterweight for the Rega & the Origin Live tonearms is made from high-grade titanium and is CNC precision milled. The hole is offset so as to drop the center point of gravity of the counterweight. The weight is 115grm. vs. Rega's stock counterweight which weighs 100grm.

The main feature of the F2 - TITANIUM Heavyweight counterweight is that it is made of titanium. Titanium when compared with stainless steel possesses “many times less” the ringing-factor. As every thing is in motion, it is therefore energized and as such, the tonearm benefits significantly from the titanium’s very low ring-factor.

The second feature of the F2 - TITANIUM Heavyweight counterweight is the way in which the end stub hole is cut. The hole has three thin contact rails on which it rides on the arm’s counterweight stub with a snug fit. This feature significantly reduces the counterweight’s contact with the end stub, improving the arm's performance and at the same time, sets it apart from other products available on the market. The counterweight is secured by a nylon tipped machined setscrew and as such will not mark the end stud.

The F2 - TITANIUM Heavyweight counterweight's two main features (titanium & unique end stub cutout) reward you with: amazing (not subtle) low-frequency performance. You will quickly notice: much better bass response, greater low-frequency extension and control, and a much-improved sense of overall “weight” and tonal richness.

Why buy an F2-TITANIUM Heavyweight counterweight over its main two competitors?

Titanium vs. stainless steel: stainless steel possesses a very long ringing sound when struck or energized vs. titanium which has an extremely short ring tone. High-grade aluminum falls between the titanium and stainless but closer to the titanium in performance. Titanium possesses what many consider as the Holy Grail, however, its use is limited due to its very high cost (5 to 6 times that of stainless).
