new "heavy platter" for VPI HR-X?

I finally got the super platter and its looks great and sounds just as good.
I won;t miss the white platter. The new platter is VERY heavy, even heavier than the old TNT platters.
Goes straight onto the inverted bearing and works perfectly.

Only early days with the platter, it does add some solidity and presence to the bass and seems to actually add to the PRAT of the table - weird. Most of all it seems to be more musical and self assured in the foundation to the music

If you are finding your HRX a little on the lean and mean side, the super platter will add some bass weight and musicality

highly recommended.

HOW? I mean how does it add deaper bass? i can understand it solving some vibration problem but i do not get how it can make a diff in highs and lows? please explain

I don't think it adds deeper bass. Who said that?

It does however slightly change the tone down in the bass and it gives it some weight and prat in the bass that the HRX does not have.

To me it sounds a better and looks very COOL

What type of construction is the new platter and is it the same as the thrust plate ?
What does PRAT stand for?

Thanks

PRAT is an old LInn term, pace, rhythm and timing.
