I have spent time and money fixing issues since buying this turntable used back in May. I have been out of the vinyl world for 20 years and this is my first trip into a world I swore I would never get back into. But the setup I have sounds drastically better than any cd I have and my ears are only the happier. Except for the vinyl rumble that is. The Dual I have has an upgraded stylus that makes a good bit of sound difference but it has also found the way to make the vinyl rumble that much more noticeable. Yes, I could take out the drive motor, clean and lube it but after the speed adjustment housing broke, the last straw was drawn for this unit and after 3 major parts breaks and fixes I said "done" with this turntable. But two major problems arise from this situation: money and the turntable I would be happy with and neither exist at this point in time. This is where the TC-8 Cork 1/8" Turntable mat comes into play. This was my last ditch effort to make my vinyl sound better, almost like trying to put a band aid on an axe wound. So after reading the reviews, I ordered a custom 11 1/8" mat from Audio 465 who provided amazing customer service. Audio 465 provide the best customer service of any desertcart seller I have ever used, no one even comes close! This mat will greatly reduce vinyl rumble on an old worn out turntable like mine and I would easily say 90% of the rumble is gone. Static definitely seems to be reduced also. As far as slippage is considered I have never noticed any issues before or after using this mat. But even though a small amount of vinyl rumble exists, a new life has been given to the sound of my turntable. Anyone facing similar issues should do themselves a big favor and buy this mat. It is by far the best band for your buck you can ask for. It really does work! Review: An essential upgrade - Best $15 upgrade you can make. I've been using the felt mat that came with my Audio-Technica LP 120 and was never satisfied with it: it didn't lay flat (causing records to spin with a wave-like movement, almost as if the record was warped) and caused horrible static. This mat lays completely flat and absorbs the sounds of the turntable itself that I used to be able to hear faintly in between songs. And so much less static! Plus, my records sound so much better. Seriously, I cannot recommend this upgrade enough. I have plans of upgrading my cartridge and removing the preamp from my TT, which are not necessarily upgrades I would recommend to everyone, as they involve a bit of work, but this is an easy, fast, cheap, and no-brainer of an upgrade; I just wish I had done it sooner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NK8PIJW | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (247) | | Date First Available | September 13, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 5 ounces | | Item model number | TC-8 | | Manufacturer | Turntable Toys | | Product Dimensions | 11.6 x 11.6 x 0.12 inches | ## Images ![TC-8 Cork Audiophile Turntable Mat 1/8-Inch thick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91D10XF2i3L.jpg) ![TC-8 Cork Audiophile Turntable Mat 1/8-Inch thick - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jeNGKThjL.jpg) ![TC-8 Cork Audiophile Turntable Mat 1/8-Inch thick - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41RXeq+rW3L.jpg) ![TC-8 Cork Audiophile Turntable Mat 1/8-Inch thick - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KmEgFEsiL.jpg) ![TC-8 Cork Audiophile Turntable Mat 1/8-Inch thick - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51M8t0kgHqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New life in an old turntable! *by K***T on October 24, 2015* I have an old and basically worn out Dual CS 508 that after time has developed very noticeable vinyl rumble.

I wasn't sure about the 1/8 or 3/16 version but the company assured me they worked the same way. I do have an adjustable VTA but really didn't feel like messing with it and since my Audio-Technica felt mat was already 1/8" I decided to go with that. Have only played 2 albums on it so far and there may be a difference in sound as I noticed the bass sounded fuller to an extent I had to adjust the EQ a bit. Much better than the felt mat that came with it. The spindle hole was a good, tight fit and seems to hold in place very well with no slippage whatsoever. My only gripe was that I ordered it and it shipped taking 12 days to arrive. Now I realize Washington is a long way from Florida but first class mail shouldn't take that long. In comparison I ordered some records on eBay shipped via media mail from California this Tuesday and they arrived the same day as the cork mat taking only 3 days. You can see by my photo that it fits perfectly on the platter. As far as pricing this one cannot be beat. I know there are more out there and some priced as high as $50. I wanted something affordable and this seems to do the trick so I would recommend buying one of the cheaper ones.
