From experience, MDF is not a good platter choice. I mean just look at the platter choice of all the budget tables - P2, NAD, Project Music Hall(?) - lots of MDF that vanishes when the price tag goes up. On the other than I want to believe it sounds good because it will make my DIY TT that much easier!

The table showed was an engineering sample. It doesn't necessarily reflect what the final product will use in terms of materials.MDF was probably used for development simply because it is easy to machine, dense and inexpensive. A platter made from Acrylic is many times more expensive and departs from the design goal. We may use another material for the platter but it will have to be dimensionally stable, inexpensive and not affect the measured performance in a negative way. The current MDF platter in the engineering sample works wonderfully in regard to providing a perfectly flat, round non-resonant surface.
