If I recall they both went to Asian users, so maybe that tells us something about individual geographic preferences.
It turns on my squits...

The Japanese do prefer white cars, so perhaps there's something in it?Quote:

Hmm I'm Japanese
Au naturel sounds rather risqué, darling; I like it... It panders to my penchant for exhibitionism, and besides, jet black would clash with the pastel combination on my usual choice of lingerie :flasher: :bum:Quote:

Yes I am getting curious as to how it will perform, will send you one when its readyQuote:

It will also allow users of current aftermarket platters for the Technics, such as the Vantage, Funk, etc, to try an ETP mat with them and ascertain whether upgrading to a full ETP platter would be a worthwhile proposition or not.
The bottom line here is that producing an ETP mat, if sonically successful and cost effective, will do no harm whatsoever to sales of the platter, and moreover could consequently produce one of the best performing mats on the market. That sounds rather like a 'win-win' to me....
So, get yer arse in gear, Mikey....5mm thick, black with a label recess, would be great!! ;)
Marco.
You have to admit, I'm full of good ideas! :lol:Quote:

Unfortunately, I found that acrylic gave a very distinct colouration - sort of boosted in the low treble and muted in the high with a rather plummy emphasis in the mid bass. The idea that acrylic is a good impedance match for a record is a nice idea but I'm not convinced it is true (or even necessarily desirable). After all the record is only pressed against the platter, it isn't actually one with it (even if clamped). Delrin (Acetal) is a quite different polymer though.Quote:

Aye, right enough - it'll be typical in Dunfermline! :lol:
Marco.
Aye, yer not wrong, but I just live here, I'm not from here!
Aye, but living there's f*cked with yer nut! :D
Marco.

I have been asked by a couple of folks if I can indeed produce an ETP platter for the LP12,Quote:

What's that phrase................. you cannot polish a turd?Quote:

Do you mean the "very thick record" or the energy from the stylus, or both? :)Quote:

It's all happening at the moment - I'm being sent stuff to audition, left right and centre. Currently residing at Marco Towers, for evaluation, is a Bushmaster MKII, Vida phono stage and Jez's new MC head amp, with shortly to arrive another head amp from Paul Hynes, and now the ETP platter....
Looks like I'll not be short of things to do, to while away the dark nights! :eyebrows:
