Generally, the heavier aluminum platter is more musical. However, the cartridge is often the key, not the platter. I have an Aries II. I tried the acrylic, but in my system the aluminum was more musical, so I switched back and sold off the acrylic.
A final word. Harry is a marketing genius, for years he pushed acrylic, now he is back to aluminum. You can be sure Harry will return in a few years with acrylic. Hey, it is not about better sound, it is about profit.
