Item Description

The Multilayer platter is an option available for the (MK2, MK3 & MK4) Aurora, Calypso and Resolution decks. It is included as standard on Sovereign turntables. This option makes a colossal difference to the performance (more so than the difference between 2 turntable models).
Noteable are increased dynamics, ultra fast transients, deeper bass and improved definition throughout the range. However all aspects of the music benefit from the multi-layer platter. Hi Fi Critic Magazine made the following comments on the multi-layer:
“The sonic outcome of fitting the new platter to the Calypso was not marginal in a “well, it might as well stay now it’s on there” kind-of-way. It was shockingly effective, resulting in a 50% plus uplift in performance over stock…… It is a masterpiece of voicing that must have taken heaven only knows how long to get right. It works evenly, top to bottom, removing the fog from recordings. Timing, dynamics and tonal veracity are all improved.

Sending Your Platter & Spindle
If you wish to upgrade your platter then please send us your existing platter and spindle. Once we receive this we will modify your spindle (remove the top so it fits the new multi-layer platter) and send you the new platter and your modified spindle. Please note, we cannot simply send you a new spindle as every spindle is matched and honed to it’s bearing.

Performance

The multi-layer platter is costly to produce but the performance improvements are worth it. Noteable are increased dynamics, ultra fast transients, deeper bass and improved definition throughout the range. However all aspects of the music benefit when you install this platter.

Features

The Multi-layer platter uses advanced energy dissipation techniques to both support the record with minimum resonance whilst at the same time allowing energy to escape. This item solves complex issues that plague sonic purity and derives from massive research and development. The closer structures get to the actual record the more they have to be right.

Applications

This option is included as standard on the Sovereign deck and above. However it may be added as an optional extra to the Calypso MK4 & Resolution MK4. If coupled with the upgrade transformer this brings the performance of the Resolution to almost the same level as the Sovereign Turntable.
