Does a turntable mat make any difference?

bigtwin I defy you to hate the RUSH after listening to'Music does not get better than this' recording.

I just recently bought a turntable mat from VPI for my Scoutmaster. I think that the results were not night and day, but I did notice a bit more control and command, not only from the sound, but also from the calming effect it had on my unipivit tone arm "wobble" which I can't stand.

Many threads on this subject with some of the same contributors saying some of the same things. More to come I’m sure.

I replaced the mat that came with my Rega 6 with a Herbie way excellent, it made a positive difference.

If turntable mats were a good idea they would come with higher end turntables, which they don’t. Plus, as said, adding a mat elevates the LP and there you need to make adjustments to the arm and stylus. What happens if you A-B three or four mats. Means adjusting three or four times.
