TT mats


I have a VPI Scoutmaster TT and am wondering if any of you can recommend a matt for the platter and why?
Thanks in advance

Dear @atmasphere : Thank's to put some ligth about the Supermat. Problem with people always ( including me. ) is each one knowledge and ignorance levels.

Even that gentleman that mentioned " garage company " has no single idea from where comes the true HIGH-END. 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Have any of you ever tried a Merrill Gem-Dandy cork-rubber mat and if so what was your opinion?
thanks. violin
All I know, is that I never should have sold my NIB Sumiko methacrylic/lead/barium mat.

I never used it, as it was a one shot deal, due to the adhesive layer on the back. Once on the platter, that's it. And if you use an LP12, like I do, the two piece platter means the mat adhesive will bond to both and then it's a done deal. Removing it would be next to impossible, and that was part of how it worked. Part of it's function made it near impossible to remove once applied. I mean, the thing was like $400 near the end of the 80's early 90's. Hell of a mat....
