We now
manufacture acrylic platters, for these highly acclaimed
turntables.
These acrylic
platters
greatly improve the performance of your turntable by
reducing resonance that can be picked up by the cartridge
from the environment such as people walking by, large
vehicles passing or other sounds that create a lot of
vibration. It has considerably more mass compared to a
standard platter. The
extra weight of the platter during rotation has a 'flywheel
effect' and helps the platter to spin flatter and at a more
consistent speed, thus reducing wow & flutter. |

Some comments:
-
"Managed to snag me an acrylic platter..I was
shocked by the physical weight of the thing when it arrived
in the post...what a lump..I thought it was my birthday. I
eagerly opened the box and behold a thing of beauty.
I wasted no time at all and set my turntable away, after I'd
warmed up my gear. I listened to three Lp's with the
original platter and no surprise they sounded great, my deck
has already had extensive upgrades, and to my ears, this was
going to take something special to better the sound..
I stripped the original platter off and put on the new
platter, which took very little time, first let me say the
platter is beautifully machined and is an exceptionally nice
snug fit. I put the anniversary mat on and tried the first
LP..Queen II.. Immediately on first impression, the Stereo
immage is brilliant and the soundstage is astounding. The
bass being reproduced is snapping into place, the music is
fast, very musical and tuneful..It was before with the
original platter, but this lump is bringing more out of the
vinyl..I had to keep playing parts of tracks over and over
again, as I was hearing stuff not heard before...a guitar
here a drum beat/cymbal there ..this is probably because the
image is placing the instruments far better..Dire Straits is
superb as is Aha..The Aha LP is the fastest I've heard the
music in my system..It's a very busy album too as they do a
lot of mixing/tracking on there Lp's..all in all a much
nicer listening experience altogether..i confess, I love the
look of the original platter with those lovely brass weights
hanging down, which are mesmerising, when you watch them,
but I love the sound of this platter..which is one solid
piece of acrylic,with just enough room to fit over the
bearing housing..I've also been able to remove some of the
isolation from under the deck, as it was overkill, the
platter has superb damping.. I'm a happy bunny and pleased I
was able to get my hands on this marvelous piece of
acrylic...I can recommend this with no fear...contact
Truepoint Audio for more details...I'm glad I did".
