Made a huge difference for Bass feedback and Vibrations 0 people found this helpfulI have the Fluance RT85 that I bought last year after deciding to get back in to vinyl. I was going to purchase this acrylic platter but decided against it, cost being the factor.I have my setup on furniture that's on a wood floor. DLK floor speakers are sitting on high density foam pads; on the floor. I noticed immediately that longer duration bass would couple itself into the turntable. Long enough, and it would reverberate (think Emerson Lake Palmer's Lucky Man). Also, anyone walking close to the cabinet would cause their footsteps on the wood floor to be picked up by the turntable.I tried several things; stick on cork pads on the bottom of the turntable's feet; made it worse. Put stick-on felt pads on the cabinet where it sits on the floor; no difference. Increased the down force on the stylus; marginal difference.I went back and re-read the reviews on the platter and decided to give it a try. It arrive last Friday. Installed it and put on ELP. I walked near my cabinet; didn't;t pick up my footstep vibrations. When the heavy bass came on the LP, no feedback whatsoever.My conclusion is that this acrylic platter made 100% difference in the playback. I don't know if I can tell if it actually increased the dynamic ranges of the bass' and trebles as some suggest, but I still think this is a great buy for what it does. I only wish that there would have been an option to purchase the RT85 with the acrylic platter up front rather than later.

Such an amazing look! 0 people found this helpfulI'm over fifty years old and so are my ears, so I can't really speak to any sound quality claims, but I have no reason to doubt them. I bought this simply because it looks cooler than puck, and it does that incredibly well.

Fantastic upgrade 0 people found this helpfulI purchased the RT 82 and used my own Shure V15 vmr cartridge rather than the OMD 10. I upgraded the platter with this acrylic and my music has never sounded better.

Noticable difference 0 people found this helpfulThis snakeoil actually worked! In all seriousness I am skeptical about certain claims about which components significantly impact sound especially when it is anything over $40. With that said I started off with a fluance RT82 ordered from amazon (you can see my review there), which I thought was great. I upgraded to the Ortofon 2m silver (also you can see my review) which at the time was a turntable lab exclusive product. The cartridge made a significant impact on clarity compared to the OM10.The platter made just as much of a change in sharpening the lower frequencies, mainly bass. I first played Refugee from Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes Deluxe Edition LP using the original platter as it was exceptionally clear. After adjusting the tonearm to account for the lack of slip mat on the acrylic platter played it again everything else the same and the opening struck hard, in essence more of a thump than before. I played the album through and was impressed.I feel this was well worth the money.
