Turntable Mat question

@rocky1313 - I have not used a mat ever since I changed from the glass  platter on my completely rebuilt Rega Planar II - to an acrylic platter

All TT's are different and the selection of the right mat can be difficult and time consuming.

Using an album for a mat is not the best solution for the reasons pointed out above.

If you have a Rega I can suggest an acrylic platter that should work well, but I would not consider recommending you try any of the mats I have tried, simply because they did not work for me and may not work for you.

The abilities of the mat are dependent the turntable it is used on and will vary greatly from one turntable to another.

There is no "one size fits all solution", as many members on this forum can tell you.

If I were you i would repost with the make/model of your turntable in order to solicit opinions from those members with similar turntables. It will save you serious $$$ in the long run

 I had the mission sorbothane mat on my glass platter for several years and it sounded better than bare glass, or any other mat I had tried at that time, like cork and felt

But my current acrylic platter, without any mat provides the most vibrant and expressive reproduction on my turntable at present.

For that reason and since replacing the platter may not an option on the turntables listed - If I were to try any mat I would opt for something like this one...

But I would make sure it has the recess for the label
