Pro-Ject Turntable Platter Mats There has always been a big debate about how mats influence the sound of records. The interaction between the record and the surface can be tracked very easily by the super-sensitivity of a good pickup cartridge. Standard felt mats have poor anti-static characteristics, which attracts dust to your precious vinyl. They are often too thin for effective acoustic control of platters, especially those made from metal. On the other hand, thick rubber mats can Isolate the record from your turntable too much. This makes the record vulnerable to static build-up, and can result in noise and clicks during playback. Manufacturers Details: Felt Mat Treat your vinyl right, and give it a soft place to rest rather than putting your record straight on the platter. Using a felt mat will help keep your records sounding fresher for longer, and prevent them from slipping while they spin so you never miss a beat. It's a good idea to update your slip mat every couple of years as it starts to collect dust. Cork It With a soft finish and a tactile grip, cork is a great material to rest your records on.The subtle surface protects your records from wear and tear, while the texture holds your records in place better than a felt mat, meaning your turntable can read the grooves more accurately, and deliver the music as it was intended.
