But you can buy an acrylic platter for it which just drops in, the actual platter just slots into the base and can be lifted out easily. It's just that the plinth is made of a composit material, and I was wondering if the platter was the same. Considering what other companies charge for composit pliths, I though a used Primary E might be a cheap source for one. I was never really sold on the idea of acrylic platters. They do look really cool, but I highly doubt the claims of major sound improvements.

Apparently it helps with midrange and treble harshness.. but if it did why wouldnt all high end turntables be sold with acrylic platters? like most have big high mass stainless steel platters.

I know there's theoretically a difference in lower mass platters, since acrylic won't "ring" the same way a steel or aluminum platter would. In theory this should lead to less distortion, but I've done a lot of comparison tests between the stock aluminum and glass platter on my Pro-ject 6.1 and an aftermarket acrylic platter. While it could be down to my signal chain, I simply haven't been able to tell the difference between the two.

While it could be down to my signal chain, I simply haven't been able to tell the difference between the two. You would probably have to have a pretty damn transparent and detailed system to hear a difference anyway, or vibrations going through the turntable which get damped more by the acrylic than the MDF or other material.

Posted June 15, 2019 † † † In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Cry havoc and let slip the Togs of war. (Signature V3) If you want me to reply, tag me @Tog Driver, Or quote me. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. II Corinthians 13:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
