That's good to know... any suggestions for platter mats that are effective?If you are interested in getting the most out of your vinyl playback, cork or leather is a bad choice for a platter pad.
Neither can control resonance in either the LP or the platter and that is the job of a platter pad.
Almost! A solid bit of vinyl, perhaps with an aluminum disk embedded (to help the pad keep its shape), would work quite well.
The best one we've seen so far is made by Oracle. Its an acrylic mat; acrylic is often too hard but Oracle seems to have worked with the material and it seems to work very well. It has a permanent adhesive on the back.That's good to know... any suggestions for platter mats that are effective?

Tizo made acrylic and pom(material near the lp) too, love the sound.The best one we've seen so far is made by Oracle. Its an acrylic mat; acrylic is often too hard but Oracle seems to have worked with the material and it seems to work very well. It has a permanent adhesive on the back.
The SPEC AP-UD1 really should have been made with vinyl rather than lacquer IMO. I was thinking of something that actually had two aluminum disks in it with vinyl on the outsides and inside. A layer of Sorbathane on the bottom would help with damping the platter itself.
