Platter Mats

The Achromat

Achromat is made of the ideal material there is at taking the energy away.

To deal with the thickness issue, it then has a real trick up its sleeve. Millions of tiny bubbles within are complex pathways where the energy gets lost as heat.

In this way, Achromat acts like a considerably thicker mat and its job is complete.

No other mat is like it and simple A-B comparisons can demonstrate that, whilst longer term listening allows subtle nuances as well as greater bass intelligibility to be appreciated.

Achromat SL1200: Some turntables the Garrard 301 / 401, Technics SL1200, Linn etc.. have a platter with a machined lip which precludes the use of the normal Achromats (which have a diameter of 293mm).

For these turntables we have launched a version of the mat with an undercut to overcome the problem.$ 120

Achromat 5mm: The 5mm is the standard will fit Rega 250, 300 when used with spacer or any other turtable with VTA adjustment. In tests it consistently comes top over the 3mm mat. Not by a lot but it is noticeable. So wherever possible go for the 5mm.$ 120

Achromat 3mm: Many people's turntables use arms with no VTA capability, whatsoever. These turntables use felt mats that are about 3mm thick and so a special version of Achromat has been made available as a convenient way to get most of the benefits that Achromat has to offer.$ 100

 

 

Platters

The Achroplat II

A must have if you own a rega the best upgrade ever

The platter is only a couple of millimetres below the stylus and must be considered part of the loop for vibrations travelling away from the record. Its role, therefore is very important.

With a conventional incorrect platter or mat (alloy, glass, felt and to a lesser lesser degree, acrylic) these pressures remain in the record, bouncing around and muddling up the sound.

With a well-designed platter, however, pressure waves are tricked into thinking that they are in a much thicker record.

Achroplat does this by being made of the same material as the record. Achroplat’s space age design loses energy by using bubbles.
Just as a quality sponge bed mattress both supports and damps, so the thin wall bubbles in Achroplat flex, making it easy for energy to dissipate.

New for 2010 is Achroplat II. This has a higher inertia so that it us a direct platter replacement for Regas and Systemdecks and more.
Achroplat II is a platter and mat in one and so does not need a mat.
Achroplat’s improvements are instantaneous.
Bettering all previous platters, even Pink Triangle’s original acrylic, Achroplat’s reputation keeps growing because it really works.
