Proper thickness for platter mat Technics 1200GR(2021)
My girl decided to bring home a 6month old Husky last Monday. I didn’t know it was coming. Long story short the new addition chewed up my platter mat. In search of a new one I see all types of recommended thickness. 3mm, 4mm(Herbies), 5mm(Funk Mat) and even 6mm(older technics). What’s the importance of this? I don’t quite understand VTA but it seems to be reason why thicker platter mats are preferred for this particular table. Is 6mm to thick? Is 5mm the sweet spot? Using the MP200 cartridge(if that plays a part).
Im currently investing in to protecting my cables from the pup...just in case. :p

I vote carbon fiber, since it's hard to chew up.

@jim5559 I love dogs man... but a puppy? Wasn’t even a little bit prepared for that. KAB seems to be the place to shop for technics parts. That's good to know. Thanks. Website is a tad grungy. :p I’ll check out the carbon fiber one. Thanks. |
@andysf - Hey Andy, I was thinking of buying the SL1200 Achromat for my Pioneer PLX 1000 which is a Super-OEM copy of the classic Technics SL1200. How does the Achromat fit? Does it have a channel on the underside that fits over the lip on the Technics platter? Or is the diameter small enough that it fits inside of the lip on the outside of the Technics platter? Lastly, how do you like it? |
