turntable mats: should I use one?


I have a sota sapphire. I have never used a mat. Should I? If so, any recommendations?

I thought the sapphire comes with the ACRYLIC SUPER MAT
Is yours a vacuum system or just the clamp. Check with Sota

The idea of a hard acrylic surface is that if the mat or platter is of the same material as a record then in effect you wind up with a thick record which dampens out all vibration. My Basis turntable has an acrylic platter and I use no mat as recommended by basis. Just a clamp to press the record to the platter
