When playing a record, every pickup system generates vibrations on the record because the stylus is subjected to very high acceleration forces during playback.
The Lehmannaudio Floatweight 400 effectively absorbs such parasitic resonances. The result when using the Floatweight 400: record playback becomes significantly cleaner and audibly freer of artefacts. Detail resolution, spatial imaging and musical clarity improve noticeably. The performance of high-quality turntables is taken to a whole new level. The music comes across as more stress-free and relaxed.
The technology inside is based on two cascaded 3S fabric discs with additional layers. In total, the Floatweight 400 consists of seven layers of different materials. A conventional plate weight works solely through its own weight. The Floatweight 400, on the other hand, has a highly effective internal structure that systematically and effectively eliminates artefacts.
In addition, the easily removable centring sleeve prevents any contact between the Floatweight 400 and the spindle, thereby effectively eliminating any possibility of vibration transmission between the platter weight and the spindle. The centring sleeve has an internal diameter of 7.2 mm on one side and 7.3 mm on the other. This optimises centring for spindles of any diameter.
The Floatweight 400 comes in a high-quality wooden box.
"I can answer the question about the effect of the 3S Floatweight 400 with a quick and enthusiastic “yes”. Every piece of music I listened to over the course of several days sounded clearer, more defined and simply stress-free, without any unnecessary, parasitic vibrations."
