The Achromat is very nice. Let us know your impressions before/ after. I still think no mat is best with acrylic, but your ears will let you know. Consider a clamp also.
Turntable
I am going to purchase a new turntable, it will have a solid hardwood plinth. It will come with a OA2 gimbal tonearm, have a acrylic platter and a Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. It comes with a felt mat, wondering if it would be fine to play records on just the acrylic with out the felt mat or should I use the felt mat provided

@flashcider - I place the record directly on the acrylic platter, BUT I also use a Thorens Stabilizer to prevent any slippage, which can occur on some albums, where the pressing is not quite PERFECT. https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=thorens+stabilizer The benefits of the weight - a much "crisper" dynamic presentation Regards - Steve |
flashcider O ... what is vta? ...There is a good brief overview here. The definitive work on this was by Risch & Maier, March ’81 Audio magazine here. This topic - and the related geometry of SRA, HTA (zenith), azimuth, and overhang - confuses many here on A'gon so you'll find a lot of misleading information in the forums. |
