Acrylic platter

My question is will it make a difference for the better changing my aluminum platter for an acrylic one ? The main reason why I'm asking is because I'm not set to buy it as it's cost is 150 dollars and I have come to learn many times , that which seems to many to be a positve change , in my system might not amount to anything positve . Since I can't borrow it to be able to hear the differences before buying it I have no other alternative but to ask other audiophiles on their experiences on the subject . I know that it should make a difference as many small changes on a turntable , taking into consideration that everything is happening on a micro level make very audible changes in the presentation of the music but these changes are not always for the better or to the persons taste .

Exactly , thats what I would like to have , first hands experience.

Thanks a lot guys . My preamp is excellent in it's sound quality and even though I could get better sound with another cartridge my present cartridge is an over achiever for the price so the law of diminishing returns comes into play . To get me better sound I would have to invest an amount that at this time is prohibited (unless I'm willing to sleep with my dog)
I've read quite a bit on the subject and it seems that a consensus is starting to form on the positive sonic qualities of metal together with cork or acrylic . Getting a acrylic mat seems to be my best option right now. Again, thank you guys for your help . Take care

I have not said that I feel confident that acrylic is the way to go . If that would have been true I would not be asking here and just would have gone and bought the acrylic platter .

I have heard turntables that came with metal platter and I did not like the results when it was changed for acrylic . The same is true vice versa , so it seems to be a matter of the overall system synergy . In any event the only way to find out if I would like the results is to test it in my system .

Lewm...thank you for the sugestions . I'm more inclined now to experiment with mats instead of going straight for the platter .

Maybe to keep the price down on their lower end tables .
