RE: Turntable Mats?

Posted by M310 on November 21, 2022 at 15:02:04:
I've been thru the mat madness myself years ago on various tables and found no sound difference in any of them. What I did find was the height difference causing a tonearm reset and a few causing an LP to slip as I tried my usual pre play dusting. I had my younger son with excellent hearing listen for differences and he heard none either.

My current VPI Scout uses no mat at all and sounds excellent. The VPI screw down clamp secures the LP snug to the platter very well.

Might make a difference on your table though. One way to find out.
