Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork.

1) I can't find the MyMat on US Audio Mart. A little help, please?
2) isn't it the height of insanity (or arrogance) to recommend that one spend $250 on a mat for a Linn Basik? That money surely could be better spent.
3) I have a Linn Basik in my "B" system. It came with the original felt mat which causer more ststic than anyting I ever used before. I tried a few different leather, cork and rubber mats and settled on a 'Simple Mat' similar to this one.

It sounded better than the felt and it didn't stick to the LP every time I changed records.
4) In my main system I have an Oracle Alexandria MK III. It came with a felt mat that was soft on one side and harder on the other. I replaced it with a sorbothane Groove Isolater that I had from an older Alexandria; but by that time Oracle was recommending an acrylic mat, which they sold for $215 in 2016. I thought I'd try an inexpensive version I got on ebay before I committed that much. I liked it so much I got one for the Basik, as well. Now I use one on the Alex and simply add a Wasabi (Highly recommended as @cardani mentioned) when I'm playing an LP under 180 grams, so I don't have to adjust VTA every time.
On The Basik I use an acrylic mat with the Simple Mat to soften things up a bit, as it fits that system's sound better.

5) The Basik does not have a very powerful motor. Don't use anything too heavy and Linn does NOT recommend clamps or weights for this reason.

Best of listening, and I am interested in your mat, @slaw, if I can find it

You’d better look HERE at the product Slaw is selling even after his listing has been removed. Does it looks like something anyone would buy even for $49 ? Up to you. I think soon we will see someone selling just a piece of paper for $50 claiming it's the best solution ever made.

Linn Basik is an awful turntable, but Sakura Systems THE MAT is an excellent mat for $250 even for turntable that cost 20 times as much. Its predecessor Boston Audio Mat has been reviewed worldwide, actually with rave reviews. And it’s not a funny looking DIY product (badly cut with scissors) like the one above, it’s a serial product sold and shipped worldwide to many audiophiles. Ain’t cheap like almost everything in high-end. Manufacturing tour is here.

Chakster!
cut it out please!
that's just plain mean and vindictive especially as you have not even tried one.
your personal thoughts are just that.
shame on you!

2channel8--- Many thanks. Useful info

@2channel8,

Thanks for your interest in MyMat. I’ve temporarily taken the ad down. Should be back up soon. If you should have any questions in the mean time, please PM me.
