Yes, but acrylic is much closer, resonant property-wise, to vinyl and therefore is more effective in helping to drain away stylus induced resonance in the LP, particularly if the LP is clamped to the acrylic platter/mat. I find just the opposite in regards to smearing, i.e., acrylic is far better than glass/metal platters in this regard. For instance, when I switched the glass platter on my Planar 3 to an acrylic platter, a veil was lifted from the music, particularly the upper midrange/lower treble region.
