## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to replace an old rubber slipmat on a jvc jl-a1 - or ca it just be placed on top of it if i adjust my tonearm etc?**
A: Either really, its a matter of what you think sounds better.  You would need to make sure you can adjust your tonearm's VTA sufficiently to accommodate the the extra thickness if you are going to use it on top of an existing mat.

**Q: How supportive is this? Would it provide stability playing 12"vinyl on 9" turntable ?**
A: I don't think so. The mat is pretty flexible and I doubt it's thick enough to provide any supporr beyond the edge of the 9 inch platter.

**Q: Does this reduce static build up on the at-LP60?**
A: Hi Kieran, I actually have an AT-LP 120, and buy it for reducing platter vibrations, but I also noticed some electrostatic reduction, specially when cleaning vinyls. Now dust stays on brush with no effort, and no more on vinyl. I think it's due to this kind and quality of materials that had been cleverly used. I hope Fonotek will also produce something for the back of platter, just like the one of Technics SL-1200. I hope I've been helpful.

**Q: Plagued by static especially with 180g vinyl does this mat reduce static**
A: No. I didn't keep mine for very long. Static was just as bad plus it smells a bit and gives off dust like tiny particles of cork and rubber. I splashed out on an acrylic platter and I love it. No static and it looks really good plus it's easy to clean the very little dust it does get.

    OK mat for the price, not 'high end' by any means but you won't get that for less than £10!
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2016*

I had high hopes for this platter mat when it arrived, which it did safely. However there is a variation in flatness to about 4cm of the edge that is VERY annoying when playing singles, but I guess this may flatten over time. Turning the mat over makes it even worse, so I don't think these are being stored well.The spindle hole is too tight meaning you have to be very careful putting this mat on and once on, you wouldn't want to take off often. However this may mean that it prevents any slippage.Sound wise, I don't have a particularly high end set-up so I wasn't expecting miracles as this was a replacement to a worn original mat. But the sound is warm and comfortable so I have no complaints there.There is however a LOT of dust coming off this thing, so I hope that settles down with use. If I could justify a higher expense at this time, I would have gone for something else and will likely replace this, but for now at less than £10 it will do.I have measured this accurately with a digital tool and it is not the specified depth however so you may consider getting the 3mm which I suspect is also not quite 3mm, as another reviewer has pointed out.

    A great mat
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2017*

So is it any good ??  Without any shadow of a doubt a resounding yes ,I have a project carbon debut deck ,rotel RA04 amp and B&W speakersAnd the sound is vastly improved i guess it is soaking up any vibration that can transmit through the platter ...The project deck does come with a very flimsy felt mat 1.5 mm thickSo this might not improve sound quality on all equipment but it certainly has made a substantial difference on this one , it is also easier to brush any dust or debri off it as nothing sticks to it As for reducing static i see no change in that respect , its well worth the moneyMine was deliverd in a sturdy envelope with do not bend stamped on itSo arrived dead flat , so to Cap this review a top quality product ..

    Excellent quality mat!
  

*by F***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2016*

Excellent quality mat. I did not expect any sound improvement but bass is improved. It looks great and fits to the edge of the platter perfectly on my Pro-Ject carbon turntable without any overhang as some mats do. I've still to test its antistatic properties but I didn't notice any on the one record I played so far.Update on the above review; I have noticed a brown dust on the record caused by static from this mat. This is caused partly by wiping the record surface too long when brushing prior to playing. The static attracted the dust which seems to be cork dust so until I treat myself to the acrylic platter, I will have to try vacuuming the mat. It also needs a record clamp to stop the mat slipping.
