I just recently bought a turntable mat from VPI for my Scoutmaster. I think that the results were not night and day, but I did notice a bit more control and command, not only from the sound, but also from the calming effect it had on my unipivit tone arm "wobble" which I can't stand.
Does a turntable mat make any difference?
One came free with my RUSH 2112 vinyl disc.
Google seems to think so.
TIA
