What mat for a VPI Traveler?


Hello,

I've recently purchased a VPI Traveler V1 ( Denon DL-110 cart on right now), and need to replace the stock mat.  I've removed the original mat, and am currently using an old Herbie's Way Excellent II - 2mm that I had on my previous TT.

I'm getting some minor wobble from records that previously rested completely flat on the old TT.  I'm guessing I need to upgrade to a thicker mat, but not 100% sure.

Fellow VPI Traveler owners, what are you using? 

Thank you for your help.

I have an Achromat on my Technics.  Improvement over the stock mat for sure.  More open and tighter bass.  I used the tape to tack it down.  Some people use vaseline but I ain't into that!
The mat should come with a set of round double sided pieces of tape.  That is what I used. A little tricky to peel IIRC.
This doesn't make sense but it sounded a lot better to me after a day of use.
