Acryl It Acrylic Platter For Turntables

It looks great on my Pro-Jext Debut Carbon and now I don’t require the terrible OEM felt mat.

So we own a Project Debut Carbon (with Ortofon Silver cartridge & stylus) and were going to upgrade to the Esprit with Acryl It platter ans built in speed control but supplier couldn't source the colour we wanted and patience ran out so we ordered the Acryl It platter and Clamp It (thought record may slip when brushing it prior to playing it) we can live without the auto speed change as with the acrylic platter it's easier to see the spindle when replacing the platter after the belt move, it's lighter and no mat on top either to line up. We've been happy with the sound of the Debut Carbon (the Cork It mat was our first "upgrade" and we thought it added a bit compared to the felt mat) but had read reports of the improvement from the Acryl It platter but we were sceptical we'd hear it. Initially we played a 12" single back to back with original platter, Cork It mat and the new Clamp It and then the Acryl It platter and Clamp It - there is a difference, a positive difference but I'm not sure how to describe it - it sounds as though the bass is tighter/cleaner and more defined whilst the mid and higher notes/voices seem more defined within the music. We listen to music rather than the system but like it to sound good and this seems to have opened up the music making it easier and better to listen to. we've now played a few different records with the Acryl It and Clamp It combination and with each one the sound just seems more open and strangely easier to listen to, I'm not sure if that's because there's more detail or the sound is less cluttered (didn't think it was before but it seems more organised now) but either way I'm more than happy with the purchase. My wife's description of the change in sound is the music seems deeper, not tonally but more to listen to. It seems expensive compared to the original turntable but it is a major component and it has made a difference, oh and it looks nice on the turntable (ours is the matt black MSL Superfi addition hence the Silver cart ), so run this set up for a few months and then look at a bronze stylus in the silver cart :-) the slippery slope of upgrades

Pro-ject Acryl-It SKU: 1947174210 perfectly with Pro-ject X line XA B Acrylic Turntable. Both stock aluminum and this Acryl-It Platter both measure 18.5 mm in thickness when measured with precision calipers. Diameter of platters is the same. The stock aluminum platter is substantially heavier that the Acryl-It platter, which weighs 930g off website specs. The system actually subjectively sounds better with the Acrylic platter. Better dampening? I noticed that the record sits flatter with less warping when record sits directly on the Acrylic platter with record puck than compared to the stock aluminum platter with felt or leather mats. The Acrylic platter also looks better in my opinion and will glow with led if desired. Super happy with this upgrade. Definitely recommended.

I added an aluminium encasement to my Denon DL-103 cartridge, to damp its motor vibrations, enhance the rigid connection to the tonearm, as well as adding mass to the ultra light carbon tube tonearm on my new Pro-Ject Carbon Debut DC III turntable. This necessitated a bigger counterweight (75g), bought from Music Direct. The ones an Amazon.com were reviewed as being mispackaged 65g ones, so I didn't chance them. The DL-103 VTA looks like a jacked up muscle car- higher at the back. With any sort of math on the stock platter, the VTA was off a little bit. I just finished the easy swap out of the OEM metal platter, for the new and very cool looking acrylic one. As hoped the VTA looks much better, and things sound both more solid, and see through layered. It's a similar improvement to upgrading the tubes in a preamp, or phono stage. It's only expensive if it's not worthwhile, or if the improvement is attainable some other less expensive way. This is worth it, in my living room.
