Product Review (submitted on September 25, 2019):
This is a very easy upgrade and does absolutely make a positive audible difference compared to the standard aluminum platter and mat. Unlike the aluminum set-up, with the new acrylic platter there is almost zero transmission of sound when you set the dust cover down gently or lightly contact the plinth. I used to get a soft "thump" through the speakers but no more! Static clicks and pops are essentially eliminated with the acrylic as well - can't do anything about the scratches of course... The acrylic is great as no mat is needed and the record stays in direct contact with the platter and the added weight just makes the whole system seem more stable. I would say this is a very worthwhile upgrade after the cartridge and stylus which are probably the best bang for the buck. I would like to see the acrylic platter a bit less expensive (and more available to upgrade - i waited 6 months to get one) but the quality is top notch and well worth the wait.
