OK - add 2% antimony to the mix!
That'll do it!
Haha - you should know. It adds 'weight' to shotgun pellets.

On a much happier note: I am now communicating with Richard at long last (who looks after my Website) and he has put up the details of my ETP Platter for those that may be interested. These Platters do not have to have any Brass Inserts and can be plain as explained in the description.
No, no, no! The 95%-ers have the correct approach. You should *know* you need 5% dark matter in the mix to get full 'musicality', 'pitch perfect reproduction' and, of course, a 'foot tapping' element.Quote:

The Brass inserts added about 500gms to the weight and some people who got them thought they looked good.
in fact since I personally machine each platter I can in fact customise them to folks personal requirements.
All my Platters have a centrally machined boss/hub which is an integral part of the Platter (see my website). Together with threaded lifting holes.
Some people feel they want to use the platter on it's own, so I machine a label recess for them.
Regarding Mats: I am still using the original soft ribbed silicon Technics mat on my Copper Bonded Platter.
The big advantage is: it presents a nice soft bed for the record and more importantly it is dished by about 2.0mm from the outer edge to the centre, (edge of label area) so it copes beutifully with slightly warped records when using a centre weight.
I think that a 5mm Achromat, bonded firmly to an ETP platter (minus label recess), the same way as is done to a Funk one, would sound great :)
Looking forward to comparing the ETP to the Funk (MK I), Mike. When are you shipping one out to David, so he can send it onto Martin and me for assessment - or is it already on its way? :cool:
Marco.
Blimey - I've swapped platters on a techie a dozen times today, and visited 6 clients. Treat yourself al!Quote:
