AcrySS Platter Mat
|
Acrylic Platters and Mats are the first choice for many HiFi enthusiasts and for good reason.
Because of its unique properties allowing it to disperse unwanted energy as heat before the stylus can pick it up, acrylic is the ideal material to support your favourite LP so you get the most out of your listening experience. Platter mats made of other materials will add their own distinct sound to the playback where acrylic will produce a more natural sound with less colouration. This is because the material properties of acrylic are similar to those of vinyl. The Elusive Audio AcrySS mat has a distinct advantage over other acrylic platter mat’s. As well as being made from the highest quality Acrylic available the AcrySS mat has a Stainless Steel insert that adds weight to the centre as well as increasing stability as it fits perfectly round the spindle decreasing any chance of movement. The insert is precision laser cut from rigid 1.2mm brushed Stainless Steel and then drilled so it fits perfectly round the spindle of the record player. The spindle hole is precision drilled at 7.25mm as standard, if your spindle is larger than 7.25mm please contact us and we can drill it to suit your turntable. Because our mats are 5mm thick they may require the tonearm to be raised. If your arm has VTA this will not be an issue. If not we can supply a 2mm tonearm spacer free of charge to raise the height of the tonearm. Please contact us for more specific details. Available In Three Outer Diameters 285mm - Technics SL1200/SL1210 / Audio Technica LP120/LP1240 / Garrard 401 294mm - Linn LP12 / Pro-ject / Rega / Pioneer / Thorens / Lenco 298mm - Garrard 301 / Most Pro-ject and REGA Turntables Recommendations When using any acrylic platter mat we highly recommend that a record weight / disc stabiliser is used. There is a much higher chance of a record slipping on an acrylic mat compared to other platter mats (e.g. cork, felt). A record weight will greatly reduce the chance of the record slipping and improve the overall performance. Cleaning and Maintenance Before we ship our AcrySS platter mats each one is hand polished with Vuplex Anti-Static Cleaner. For the best results we recommend that the AcrySS platter mat is regularly cleaned with Vuplex or other anti-static acrylic cleaner.
