Turntable Mat question

@snafu011

I agree with Chakster 100%. The Micro CU-180 is the best I’ve used. I have tried numerous: leather, cork, felt, graphite, thick rubber, etc. and the CU-180 was clearly the best from the first. They are expensive and difficult to find, but worth it for sure. Make sure it’s flat. I have a Technics SP10 and the fit is lovely!

Absolutely. There is also CU-500 (2.7kg) which is thicker and heavier than CU-180 (1.8kg). Not every turntable can drive 2.7kg Micro Seiki CU-500, but Technics SP-10mkII can do that easily (what a powerfull motor). For Technics owners i would highly recommend Micro CU-500 which i've been using myself with my SP-10mkII for a long time.

Hi rocky1313,
with your turntables Herbie's, funkfirm mat would be ok.

@kingbarbuda  Give Herbie's Grungebuster Mat a try is you want to take your sound to an even higher level than the WayExcellent.  My Grungebuster Mat makes my vinyl sing quite beautifully on my VPI Scout acrylic platter table.

I use a leather mat, (split cowhide) on my Linn. Sounds better than the original felt, better than cork. Drops the noise floor - really. And eliminates static.
