Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork.


I have a Linn Basik Turntable with an Akito tonearm and Rega Exacta 2 cartridge. Would one expect a noticeable sonic difference when changing from a felt mat to a rubber and cork mat?

Having said this, I should update my pictures soon.

When I mail an order, the way it is packed and the shipping time involved will assure the customer receives a perfectly flat MyMat.
A little churlish of you Chakster.

Especially as you have NOT tried one.

Slaw has quite a number of happy customers right here as well as external sales.
@joscow,

This may be as good a time as any....

The type of mats you listed are just off-the-shelf products cut in a circle with no actual thought behind them. Anyone can go to a craft store and find these materials and go home and cut out a decent circle. These range in price of 20 to 30 $. Now there is a rip off!

My MyMat has actual thought and testing behind it. It may not look like a $250.00 mat and on up but the proof is in the pudding. The fact that one MyMat is just around 1mm thick is very significant given the construction and effect it offers.Even using two, which more than doubles one MyMats’ positive contributions to one’s listening experience, at $99.00 is a steal. It will actually improve the sound of any existing mat one may have.

As you may have read in the Member Reviews section, I am not in this to make a buck. I really developed it as a labor of love for the (hobby) that I love so much. (much more than a hobby to me).

I was tempted to offer @chakster a deal but his preclusion to determine the effectiveness of a product based upon a glimpse of it, is a no go.

Peace,

Steve


I like my sorbethane may.
All you should do is try different ones on your rig.
@fuzztone,

Have you tried others?

Sorbothane traps resonances, very similar to rubber, Not good!.
