Ok guys,
Mike's sent me some pics of my customised version of his platter... First, this is the existing one:

And the new lighter version with copper mat bonded on top:

Can't wait to try it! :)

Now fixed, Chris, sorry - slip of the keyboard!Quote:

Marco.
:) looks tasty indeed ! shame you have to cover that shiny copper up with ye olde vinyl
Indeed - and an Achromat! ;)
I'll have to borrow a standard size one though from Arthur, as the one I have at the moment is cut for the Techie platter. I'm sure he'll have a few demo ones kicking around that'll do the job.
I'm quite excited and have high hopes for this platter. The plan is to compare it, fitted with an Achromat, against a copper mat and Achromat with the existing platter (and also with an Oyaide), all using Paul's SR5-21 PSU, and see which combo performs best...
I have an inkling what'll win, though, as I'm sure Martin might :eyebrows:
We'll see, though! I'll simply tell it as I hear it. I have to know the results of testing all viable combos, so that I can offer people advice from a position of experience.
Then it'll be down to Martin's to do some further testing against his standard MN platter to see if my customised design has proved to be sonically beneficial (or not), the results of which I will then report here.
You can't accuse me of not being thorough (lol!), so hopefully when the testing has been carried out, people will have a better idea of what way to go with their own Techies.
I think it's important that Techie enthusiasts have a point of reference from which they can then use their own judgement, and then their own ears if they decide to go with whatever is recommended :cool:

Ill be very interested in your results.
I use a Ancromat on my L-07D (AK let me have one for a review when they first came out) but b/c of the size have never been able to test it on my SP10.
I have a Kenwood Ceramic platter also and have been thinking of going over to copper and trying the Oyaide.
Do you have an Oyaide?
Regards
Gerry
Hi Gerry,
No, but I'll just order one when I get the copper mat and sell it on later if it doesn't come up to scratch when tested against the other stuff. I'll certainly be keeping everyone informed of the results.
The Achromat really is a no-brainer, and quite frankly should be considered as a ubiquitous choice in the application of 'record interface mat' :)
Marco.
Marco, I notice that your mat has actually been tested in situ with a Techie deck ;)
