The Garrard 301 and 401 and the Lencos need a heavy mat to damp out ringing in the platter. The stock Garrard mats do this well. I've had good results with using a Spotmat on top of the stock Garrard mat. But the Garrard mat...or some other heavy alternative to damp out the platter resonance...is still needed.
