I have Clearaudio performance DC with no mat our platters are made out of the same material I do use a record clamp. when I had a Rega with a glass platter I used a suede mat no static like the wool one that came with it the Glass is so hard without it it would ring. Clearaudios uses a material similar to the record if you clamp the record your 180gram record now weighs a few pounds no vibrations between the record and platter
turntable mats
I have just got myself a Clear audio concept wood mc that I am delighted with. It didn’t however come with a turntable mat. Does this matter if I place the vinyl on top of the platter, or is a mat advisable. If so what materials are available and does it make a difference to sound .
