Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on December 16, 2022):

Good platter. I cannot comment on any difference in sound as it may be there, but without a critical A to B comparison I cannot tell a definitive difference. I also cannot comment on the speed stability due to the increased mass, again could be there but without swapping table back and forth between acrylic and the original aluminum one, I cannot tell.The only aspect I can comment on is the aesthetics of it. I have a white RT83 that I've now upgraded to be on par with RT85 both the platter and the stylus. With the acrylic platter, record player looks very nice and was approved my wife in terms of its presentation. :)One thing to note though, I had to adjust the height of the tone-arm bridge, as the bride would not go down, low enough to fully release the tone-arm, after the platter upgrade. I'm assuming because I removed the rubber mat and potentially acrylic platter being thinner, the original factory adjustments were not enough to release the tone arm. The adjustment is super simple, there is a small, silver screw on the bridge, right under the tone arm that you need to turn (don't remember which way) and check if the bridge lowers far enough to fully disengage the tone-arm. Check at both the outer rim of the record as well as the inner, closer to the label. Once that was done, everything is honky dory.
