Does anyone know what the thickness is of the standard VPI felt mat?


Hi, I am considering trying some different mats for my VPI Prime Scout.  There is a mat that I am interested in called Herbie's Way Excellent II mat.  It can be ordered in various thicknesses.  Anybody try this before?   Thanks much!

The VPI felt mat is thick, maybe 1/8 of an inch.  I use a felt mat that is half the thickness.  I purchased it from the official PF store with the DSOTM logo.  It works great on my turntable.  I also tried the hard mat by Oracle or Origin, can’t remember which.   Sucked the life out of vinyl. 

The newer VPI turntables like the original Prime come with a felt mat with the VPI logo on it and strobe markings.  No need to bother the VPI POLICE.
