Need suggestions for a TURNTABLE MAT...

Oracle was very proud of their mat for the Premier Mark IV, which I have. But a Ringmat made a major improvement. With a Rega, you should get the thinnest Ringmat, unless you add a VTA adjuster. At least with some cartridges, the thicker Ringmat(s) would throw the VTA off and hurt the sound. I have a Rega 25 too, and use a Ringmat on it with excellent results. Rega and Ringmat are a famous combo, I think.

In "Sam's Space", Aug. issue of Stereophile, Tellig reviews a new mat called "None-Felt" (no, that's not my misspelling--that's what the company calls it).

Anyhoo, it sells for about $30, but the same material can be obtained, probably in your hometown, for a small fraction
of their price, and you'll have enough material to make several mats. All you need is a pair of scissors. Plus, you can get it in black, blue, white, and green.

Contact me off-Forum and I'll give you the details if you're interested.

Has anyone tried the antiskid shelf matting you can get at the supermarket? Real thin and your record should not slide at all.
