I use Boston Audio mat2. BA mats are the ancestors of Sakura. Yes, the surface is a bit “rough”, in the sense that it does not reflect light; it’s not shiny. But there is no way it could harm an LP, unless maybe you were to try to do harm, by using the mat as one would use sandpaper across the LP surface while applying considerable pressure. In other words, don’t worry about it.
Anyone Using A Boston TT Mat
I just received a new Boston Mat from Sakura Systems. Right
away, I noticed that the mat's surface is somewhat rough especially
towards the center. Now it's not sandpaper rough, just enough
that you feel it with your fingers.
I wrote Yoshi at Sakura and he says this is normal and he has
never had any complaints about the mat being rough. He offered
to let me return it for a refund.
Is anyone using this mat that can comment on this. I just want to
make sure this won't damage my records.
