Pro-Ject Cork it Turntable Mat Alternative platter mat with special sound characteristics Substitute for a felt mat Damping of resonances from metal turntable platters ; Less noise Avoids static load Suitable for all turntables Pro-Ject's Cork it Turntable Mat provides an inexpensive upgrade for the performance of your turntable. You can hear the difference! Common felt mats provide smooth contact between record and platter, but often collect a lot of dust which can be then transferred to the record. Also, the damping ability is very limited, which can be a problem with metal platters. Thick rubber mats over-damp the record and have an isolation effect which leaves the static on the record, resulting in hear-able noise clicks. With the Cork it, resonances are damped more effectively than felt, it keeps dust away and it avoids static.
