Pro-Ject Vinyl Sandwich Platter Upgrade

The Pro-Ject Sandwich platter is an effective Pro-Ject turntable upgrade available either as aluminium with a vinyl layer or MDF with a vinyl layer. This upgrade will achieve specific sonic qualities for current, or older Pro-Ject turntables.

Pro-Ject calls it a sandwich platter as it has an MDF or aluminium core faced on top with a 5mm layer of vinyl. This matt-finished vinyl playing surface includes a slight recess at the centre to clear the label area, so even with discs where the label or a surrounding ridge stands proud, the underside of the disc should still make good contact with the vinyl platter surface right across the playing area.

To our ears, the aluminium model improves clarity and dynamics whilst the MDF model improves lower and mid frequency response. An  excellent upgrade..

  • MDF version diameter 300mm Height 29mm
  • Aluminium version diameter 300mm Height 19.5mm

Be careful when considering this aluminum upgrade platter. The effective thickness is 9mm, not as stated by the manufacturer 19mm. This means that it may be impossible to adjust the vertical tracking angle (VTA) correctly - i.e. you may not be able to lower the arm base enough. This does not fit RPM 5 for the rason above.

Very nicely built and finished, this (MDF version) has been a worthwhile upgrade to the platter on my Pro-ject RPM 5, matching the grey/silver colour. I noticed a fuller, punchier sound overall and a significant improvement in detail and imaging. Take the opportunity to set up your deck again. VTA will likely need looking resetting. Very good service from the dealer, will be buying more as I continue upgrading my turntable setup.
