Opinions about this cork mat bunk or truth? about their claims of better with less record contact? I'm not sold that it does anything, except make your less than 180 G records more likely to float around. Opinions?
A better cork mat or just getting more of your $

things like this are V device dependent.
they work better on some tt's & not so much on others.
the principle is to isolate & reduce the transmission of minute vibrations that find their way to the cartridge & effect the character of the audible signal.
HERE is another popular one.
remember that changing the mat thickness requires adjusting your VTA (vertical tracking angle).
this is a good read, the LINK provided by the good folks at Vinyl Assylum.
section #9 deals specifically with VTA- Bottom

Right. Thanks Bill for the input. I think I will opt, no on this one. I think it might make more difference on a table with a less solid platform than I have (platen) As thick as my acrylic base is, and as solid as the bearing assembly is, there's no movement except circling the spindle, within reason. So I think it's safe to say i am in pretty good shape on the felt I have. I am not a huge fan of felt, as I think it can be a conductor of static electricity, and that is our enemy. I could be wrong, but I always thought that possible with felt.
thanks,
DougDoug
