Folks,
With all the frantic talk about Richards new Platter, you all seem to have forgotten that It was I who fiist "innovated" and produced the "Copper Bonded Alluminium Platter" of which about 20 were sold to appreciating users.
Then eventually, some 6 months later when Richard/Funk eventually worked out how to make one; He came out with his Acrylic version with
[no metal centre boss/hub and no screwed holes for easy removal of the platter]

All of a sudden both Martin and Marco dropped my platter in favour of the Richard/Funk version.

The reason as explained by Martin was that the Copper Bonded Platter was too good at reproducing Bass!!!

So perhaps for all thos people who enjoy the Bass notes in their music perhaps we should also include my Copper Bonded Platter.

Or perhaps Martin and Marco can remember how very good it was!!

I then developed the ETP platter as a slightly brighter platter with less weight.
