Synergistic Research UEF Record Weight
Synergistic's UEF Record Weight was developed in conjunction with their new MiG SX footers and so shares many of the same sonic traits, including the ability to dramatically expand the scale and layering of your soundstage while improving timbral accuracy and tonal density. During the design phase, they pursued two competing designs simultaneously.
One was a record clamp that locked to the center platter pin, and the other was a suspended record weight. Initially, they felt the record clamp would offer better performance but quickly discovered one significant drawback, once locked down the clamp becomes an extension of the platter and this prevents minute variations in lateral and vertical movement, thus compressing the soundstage when directly compared to the suspended record weight design.
Synergistic then maximized performance by experimenting with different mass loads in the main stainless steel and carbon fiber body and various leaf spring suspensions that form the connection between the mass of the stainless steel and the tungsten carbon bearings that make contact with the record itself. Of course, they also experimented with different bearing materials, but just as with MiG SX, tungsten carbon quickly proved superior to other materials like brass, bronze, and stainless steel.
After fine-tuning the mass and the suspension, they voiced the record weight with an internal UEF element and an external UEF option that allows you to choose between two sonic balances in the form of a Red and a Blue HFT specially voiced to deliver air and detail or warmth and liquidity.
AIR
When you place the included BLUE HFT on top of the UEF Record Clamp, you experience more air and detail with a cooler and in some recordings, a more dramatic holographic soundstage. This is perfect for listening to artists like Roger Waters or electronic music with dramatic phase effects.
LIQUID
When you place the included RED HFT on top of the UEF Record Clamp you experience rich tonal warmth and greater liquidity with a smoother presentation. This is perfect for vocal recordings like Frank Sinatra and Diana Krall or anytime you want greater warmth and musicality.
REVIEWS
Robert Youman of Positive Feedback wrote (May 2020):
"...with the UEF Record Weight, there was now a more clearly defined sound stage with even more layers of inner detail. Performance at both ends of the frequency range had an urgency and flow that had my head spinning. Mids were even more seductive and tangible. Tone, timbre, and pitch were spot on for a variety of instruments and vocals. The number of goose bump generating spacial cues now seemed endless. I clearly discovered a new bench mark!"

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK:
"...it has bigger impact on sound quality than I expected. The sound was more
3D, more clear and natural decay, more instrument separation (but somehow more
full), more treble and bass extension (however, no good deeds got unpunished, I
felt that several new pop LPs' treble got too thrilled, good quality LPs sound
GREAT!). The more surprising was how noticeable the difference between the blue
and red HFTs sounded, you can really tune the sound to your liking, maybe the
difference was amplified by other SR things I have in my system (Atmosphere
XL4, black box, 30 various HFTs, etc)…"
"...I was surprised how effective this record weight was, well worth the investment. Excellent tweak and the technology is real!"
