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 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.
I've been using a Mission Sorbomat ( Sorbothane) on my turntables for over 30 years with excellent results. Unfortunately , they are no longer made and rarely available.
