The white platter against the all black P5 plinth looks great.
I can also see that you guys keep your turntables "dust free" and looking really nice too. Happy New Year!

Perhaps a silly question, but, I'll ask anyway: Do you need to stop the platter spinning to facilitate changing of records?
I am currently torn between white Delrin or a completely blacked out P3 - 24.

Nope, I never stop the platter unless a record has an extremely tight fit on the spindle.

Thank you for the reply gents. I currently am awaiting my ref sub platter and guess I have the tough choice of white/black. All the comments in this thread leads me to believe that Delrin might be right for me.

Thanks Bacobits! I do like the Classe 15 a lot. I swapped out two Bryston 4b's for it and haven't looked back.

Looks like it has got Frank's subplatter and counterweight as well but the Elys2 cartridge will have to be changed for it to sound really "awesome," watercourse :wink:

I installed the reference subplatter, delrin platter, and counterweight for a customer located in my area. He is going to upgrade the cartridge. :D

Thought I saw an Exact peeking out from under the headshell (before the cropped photo). Wasn't too bad a cart on my P5.

I must be a good researcher as I've had a GT Black Platter since 2010...
Here's a pic from the VE post at the time.

The white does look nice too, dam you Frank :) :) 1595215951 15954
