In Reply to: Do Acrylic Platters, as a meterial, have any type of sonic signature? posted by jaybar on April 20, 2007 at 07:09:07:
Acrylic platters are supposed to be very neutral sounding and are used on many high end tables. They should impart little, if any, sonic signature of their own. I replaced the MDF platter on my NAD 533 about 2 years ago with an acrylic platter from Brit Audio. The acrylic platter looks much cooler, but I have never been able to detect any meaningful difference between the two sound-wise. This was with the LP sitting directly on each platter's surface. MDF actually is a great platter material since it is also sonically neutral. That's what most loudspeakers are constructed of. Granted, I may not have the most developed listening skills or a reference grade system, but I heard significant improvements after I upgraded the endstub and counterweight on my RB250, replaced the rubber feet on my NAD with metal cones and placed the TT on an isolation platform. The platter is more like a $60 piece of audio jewelry, at least to my ears.Pat
