Music Hall Cork Mat Reduces Vibration and Acoustic Feedback Improves Stylus Tracking and Record Wear Non-Static Non-Adhesive Grips Records Better Than Felt Lightweight Design without VTA Adjustment

LAB REVIEW
Music Hall's Cork record mat not only improves the sound of your favorite records, it also lowers record wear and improves stylus tracking. How does a slipmat do all this? Music Hall describes it best, "The secret is in the 12 isolation discs surrounding the outside of the mat and the single larger disc for the center label. The discs lift and support the record while floating it above and decoupling it from the platter. This lowers record vibration and reduces acoustic feedback. Stylus tracking is improved and record wear reduced. The mat eliminates the grunge and leaves behind a rich, clear, dynamic sound." In addition, the cork material sucks up unwanted vibrations and is naturally non-static and non-adhesive making it completely safe for all platter types and all records. Cork also grips the record better than the usual felt-type materials so there is less record slippage and fewer timing errors. This thin, lightweight mat is an excellent upgrade for all listening turntable setups (but NOT for DJing or backcueing). Recommended.
