A new mat for my Linn LP12

I was looking at the 'Way Excellent 2' by Herbies Turntable mats. Do you have any thoughts on this. I originally was looking to buy the mat cheaper on the web when I came across these.

Kept it a Linn till 95/96; then started to think that I could tweek it for the better. Still sounded great, but didn't realize that I had lost the Linn ability to "Play the Tune" In April, I took it to "Tom" at Ovature Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. Tom overhauled my Linn, - upgraded Tonearm cable, New Felt Mat, put the special mat I had on it along w/ the SOTA Cosmos record clamp in a box. The Linn now "Plays the Tune" again! As it says in the Linn manual. They are continually trying to improve the LP 12!! Stay with stock Linn or Linn upgrades ( even if they are expensive) You will have a great table that will play with other tables at their respective price points. Best Wishes on your Journey

Should solve that problem and less dust attracted to LP too. Best Wishes to all on this Journey. Happy Holidays!

I am sure there are others but he probably stocks the felt mat and will get it to you quickly ! Best Wishes on your Journey
