Best Platter Material


With different turntable platters being used out there, is there one that is better over amother for vinyl playback?

The most common materials I've come across include:
- aluminum
- acrylic
- glass
- delrin
- ceramic
- copper

Also, if using some sort of platter mat (felt, rubber, cork, etc.) does it even matter which material is being used for the platter?

I'm a Delrin fan. It's all about the implementation... damping, mass considerations of the turntable in question.

I've read that Clearaudio is switching from acrylic to POM (delrin) with a ss substrate.

They have been Delrin now for quite some time with their upper tier tables (Innovation series), along with the Concept and Ovation models.
