Acrylic Platter Upgrade for Pro-Ject and Andover Audio Turntables

Many turntables come with a basic entry-level platter. Upgrading to an acrylic platter is one of the best options to improve the sound quality of your turntable. Acrylic offers a great combination of qualities that make it a great platter option. It is dense and not overly stiff. The density helps to decrease wow and flutter, and the density combined with the low stiffness helps provide a clean sound with less static. As a further benefit, acrylic looks great, and can work well with lighting effects if you have any such accessories. Note that this platter is made by SupremeTech, not Pro-Ject; however, it is compatible with Pro-Ject Essential, Pro-Ject Elemental, and Pro-Project Primary E Turntables.

Upgrade your listening experience with an acrylic platter. An acrylic platter decreases wow and flutter effects due to its higher mass, which increases rotational inertia, and acrylic provides a cleaner and more detailed sound by minimizing unwanted vibrations as a result of its high density and low stiffness. It is recommended that you place records directly on the acrylic platter with no mat to take full advantage of the properties of acrylic.

The dimensions of the acrylic platter are as follows: Diameter: 11.8 inches (300mm), Thickness: 0.73 inches (18.5mm), Weight: 3lb, 7oz (1560 grams), Diameter of center hole: 0.43 inches (11mm), Diameter of post on top: 0.28 inches (7mm), Diameter of post embedded in platter: 0.43 inches (11mm), Diameter of post on bottom: 0.24 inches (6mm), Height of post on top: 0.75 inches (19mm), Height of post embedded in platter: 0.75 inches (19mm), Height of post on bottom: 1.26 inches (32mm).

Note that for more efficient packaging, the spindle is not installed. When you receive the platter, you will need to follow the directions to install the spindle in the middle of the platter. All you need for installation is a hammer and a place to sit the platter while you hammer the spindle in.
