📌LAB POINTS static-reducing turntable sheet constructed from Washi, a traditional Japanese paper used for currency, stationary and interior fabrics for centuries unique stone paper core gains mass while restricting vibration, reducing static electricity and repelling dust 'Un-Ryū Shi' Washi craftsmanship yields characteristic fiber patterns, visible on both sides comes with (1) sheet made in Japan "The TA-TS30UN-BW is an inventional turntable sheet to provide an optimized condition for vinyl record playing. Removing dust on vinyl records with a dust sweeper is one of the most ceremonious things when playing music. However, it may sometimes be a bothering process when dust persistently sticks on the records due to static. In order to provide a comfortable moment of listening to music, we considered removing static from records is essential to make this ceremony exciting, and tried to find the best material for a turntable sheet from scratch. Traditionally, silicon rubber, felt or cork are used for turntable sheets, because of their shock-absorbing attribute. However, we consider the most essential thing for a turntable sheet is to reduce static, and came to the conclusion of using 'WASHI' after dozens of tests to find an ideal material that matches the condition. 'WASHI' is a traditional Japanese paper made from the fibers of Mulberry trees. With natural durability, it’s been widely used for UKIYO-E printings and paper currency for centuries. Recently, it’s been rediscovered and used for stationary and interior fabrics for its beautiful design and excellent functionality. Particularly, 'Un-Ryū Shi' is a unique type of WASHI made using special techniques which, showcasing the skill of the craftsman, can be seen in the characteristic fiber pattern on the paper. By combining this WASHI with Stone-paper for core material, this turntable sheet gains mass and becomes uniformly flat, while restricting vibration, reducing static electricity, and preventing dust from accumulating. The TA-T30UN is the ultimate turntable sheet that provides an ideal condition for record playing at the highest dimension." - Teac 🔎TECH SPECS core material: Stone paper (calcium carbonate: about 80%, high-density polyethylene: about 20%) surface material: Japanese Washi paper (Un-Ryu Shi), both sides dimensions: 300 x 300 x 1 mm (approx.) weight: 1.55 oz / 44g (approx.) .
