I read a turntable Mat comparison which mentioned that although there are many different choices, some audiophiles will use LP Records as a mat What is your opinion about this ?
I’ve tried a lot of mats on my SL1200, and ended up going with a Herbies Way Excellent ll Mat. You can get them in basically any diameter and thickness to suit your particular turntable.
I replaced my stock Technics SL-D2 turntable mat with a GEM Dandy rubber cork compound mat and enjoy the quietness it brought to my ’daily driver’ very much.
It’s also not to expensive at $60 and they always go on sale for less. And be aware that all rubber cork compound mats are not of the same quality.
