A friend has recently put a new acrylic platter on his turntable and I remarked that there was no label or edge relief. He said the idea was that the record only contacted the platter at the edge and in the centre and the playing surface stays clear of the platter unlike most other platters/mats which allow full contact of the playing surface. How does this idea compare to raising the record clear of the platter using small dots or a special mat? Do some of you prefer full contact of the record to the platter/mat? Any thoughts anyone?
