Having the platter upside down can cause serious problems with sound quality.

The hole is drilled in a glass Rega platter such that one side will spin properly.
Reversing the platter can -- not always -- can cause the platter to visible wobble in the horizontal plane.
This completely f's up the sound of the turntable and must be corrected.

My platter is exactly the same on both sides. - robert young 12:46:36 09/17/06 (2)
No difference at all.
Are there variations in Rega platters from year to year?
- No. Some of their glass platters are perfect on both sides. Not all are though. - hukkfinn 05:04:09 09/18/06 (1)
  So it's important to do a visual check.
