You certainly can't beat the Herbies Audio "Way Excellent Turntable Mat" for performance with this platter. I think they are arouind $50.00 or so and well worth the cost. They are thin enough so you don't have to adjust VTA ( unless you are really finicky like I am), but it will be the least expensive good sounding solution for you. Just google Herbies Audio to get to their website - Enjoy!
