I recently traded in my Classic for an Aries 3. Before the Classic was sent back, I swapped the Aries 3's acrylic platter for the Classic's aluminum one. No two ways, the metal platter reached deeper into the bass than the Aries' original platter. As the dealers insisted on having the Classic back in original form, I've ordered a new Classic platter for my Aries. Hope to get it this month.
If you've notice, the newer Clearaudio tts are not using acrylic platters.
