Cork Turntable Mat for Vinyl LP Record Deck Platter

Really great mat. Sits completely flat on the turntable improving tracking and speed stability. I've noticed instrument separation is slightly better and lower end frequencies are slightly more prominent in the sound stage. Comes in great packaging with the added bonus of a inner sleeve protecting the mat. The sleeve is now being used on one of my LP's. Same thickness as the stock felt mat that arrived with my Rega P2 so no need for and VTA adjustments. It also looks great on my glass platter above black plinth. Overall very happy with this product and a great price.

Provides a softer yet more stable platter whilst claiming to reduce static. I agree with the first points, it does indeed give a softer more stable platter for the record. It does reduce some static noise, however, when lifting records off the platter, the cork mat will stick to the record and lift off. Does it make improvements to the sound? I did notice some extra warmth in the overall sound whilst the soundstage sounded quieter, allowing more detail to come through. As an inexpensive addition to my turntable, it has made some subtle improvements but the way it sticks to the records when lifted is somewhat annoying.

what would you expect to gain by using a cork mat like this, extended bass, better timing, better speed stability? Well that is what you get and more ( my turntable is a Rega P3 with the low voltage motor mod ) and the bonus is static is drastically reduced. highly reccomended

It does what you hope without asding further issues... all a vinyl guy can hope for really... but the cost... there isn't a cork mat on the market that represents value. I make the oress knives people use to cut these things. Aside from the cost of the knives and press and cork, this is a no brain no effort low cost, low risk operation and it takes one man minutes to produce hundreds of these. £20 ball park per mat is a joke.

Adding to this to your vinyl turntable really improves the sound, especially at the base end. I have two decks and bought one for each of them and wouldn’t go without

I was sick of getting static from my felt mat which kept on sticking to my records, so I decided to get a cork one because they are cheap. The sound quality has improved massively, much less crackles and pops and the bass is so much more prominent and sounds great with headphones. I've never understood why nearly all turntables come with felt mats because they are awful, id change yours ASAP, and this is a great cheap choice. The bad thing about this slipmat is it feels slightly rough and it's advertised as being 2mm thick when it's actually 2.4mm thick. It's a small price to pay for a massive improvement in sound quality.

Good price option for an alternative mat. No static lifting the mat now, so very happy.

Non slip, no static truer sound quality.

Buscaba principalmente reducir la estática y lo he conseguido por un lado cambiando el cepillo de limpieza de los vinilos y por otro cambiando la alfombrilla de fieltro por esta de corcho. Sí que es cierto que viene con algo de polvillo del corcho, pero limpiándolo con una brocha suave no he vuelto a ver ninguna mota. No tiene demasiado grosor, así que ninguna queja.

und liegt ruhig ohne Ansprüche auf dem Plattenteller. Die Vertiefung für das Label erlaubt der Platte plan zu liegen, was viele andere Matten eben nicht ermöglichen. Kruemellos - ein Mangel bei teureren Matten anscheinend. Kein Transfer von Antriebsgeräuschen. Preis ok für eine einfache Korkmatte. Benutze die bei meinem Thorens TD 125.

El producto no es de mucha calidad. Escuchas 2 o 3 discos y ya se quedan pegados algunos trocitos a los vinilos. No sé cuánto tiempo durará antes de deshacerse completamente. Pero de momento cumple con su función. Aísla bien y reduce bastante el ruido debido a la energía estática.

I thought this mat would help a bit with my static problem, but it didn't really make a change. The only difference is that it's much thinner and lighter than my rubber mat so it gets stuck to the record from static, making the problem worse. It's a bit expensive for a thin cork mat.
