Linn users, what is your preference for your platter mat?

Thanks for that.

Can you tell me what the Herbies or the others do for you that is an advantage over the felt? Only problem I see with the felt is that it is somewhat loose and on occasion will stick to a record. It seems pretty good about not building static, which I find with the plastic/rubber types.

Do any of you have your own Linn Jig for service on the LP12?

I have no luck trying to find the dealer list in the US. I live in NE Missouri and guessing I have nothing within 4 to 6 hours. Don't know why the dealer search doesn't work but it doesn't for me. I would consider buying my own jig if I have any work to do. 

I also have an AR table, THE AR, which is very similar. I used to think AR copied Linn but recent study shows it to be the other way around. Kind of funny. Both kind of copied old Thorens. Just interesting. 

I don't really have a problem with the felt. Just wondering what other Linn users have done. Looks like mostly felt, at least so far.

I have read a lot of good reviews about the herbie mat. If I can't find you, I can always just buy one and see what I think but I'll see what I can find. Thanks

I am in the US. NE MO as stated above. Curious as to what is better? Not saying that you're wrong, I just am curious about what improves. 

I do consider getting a jig if I keep this rig for the long term. I see no reason not to so far. 

Which other site? There are many. I am a member on the DIY site, don't think I'm current on any others. Used to be active on the asylum. Thanks for the offer. It bears consideration. Actually looking to replace a rubber mat on the AR. 

@slaw 

So, is that felt only?
