Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series

@atmasphere, I questioned the Oracle dealer I purchased it from, they said they don’t recommend sticking it to the platter, so I did not. Who knew?  I wish I had the kahunas to stick it down.  I do love my HRS lightweight record weight though.  I should have asked you🙁

@atmasphere, such a "permanent" attachment would make it very difficult to ever remove the platter if needed. That seems risky to me but guess that is personal.

I have a heavy, thick rubber mat from a SP-10 Mk 2 I need to dig out and try on my SL1200 G.

@stereo5 @pryso  There are three screws that affix the platter to the motor. If you apply the mat with them in place you'd have to do surgery should you ever want to remove the platter for shipping. So those screws would have to be removed first.

Why does the mat have to be glued to the platter? Seems to me you’re better off with nothing between mat and platter, for best energy transfer. If the mat slips in the absence of glue, I’d consider a record clamp or weight to push the mat down from above. In fact the graphite mats do potentially slip if the platter surface is slick, and I use a clamp.

Too bad Technics lost their mojo on mats for high-end TTs! Currently I use Denon DP-80 mat (NOS) on my SL1200GAE.. second to it is SFTG172-01 / RGS0010, original Technics.
