Description: Thanks for checking out this new cork slip mat for 12" turntable! Sound tuning through replacement of platter mat! Turntable mats have been always a big discussion how they influence the sound.
The interaction between the record and the surface can be tracked very easily by the supersensitivity of a good pick up cartridge. Common felt mats give a smooth touch between record and platter but has the disadvantage with static. That means that feltmats often collect a lot of dust which can be then transfered to the record. Also the damping ability is very limited which can be a problem with metal platters.
Thick rubbermats overdamp the record and have an isolation effect which leaves the static on the record and hearable noise clicks are the result. Resonances are damped more effectively than felt, they keep dust away and they have also enough contactivity to avoid static. What is better depends on taste and the actual platter design. A very costeffective way to improve the sound and have less noise by static and dust. You can hear a difference!
This cork mat is easy to clean and very soft. You can bend over its two sides to touch each other without breaking it into two parts. You can try but instead I would take good care of it as it works for a good music.
