Wow, this reminds me of the Platter Matter. They were originally blue, then later ones were brown. I bought a brown one but never used it. Can't say how they improve the sound, but know they are slightly tacky so they grab the record, make it flatter and more stable. Some people swore by them - they were quite the rage in the analog world then.
Platter mat ?
I am using a VPI hw19jr TT. I have been using it for about 2 years without a mat. I have been just running the bare platter with the LP clamped to it. Is there a need for a mat on this platter?
I didn't think so, but I have been looking at pics here with mats on the platter of the 19jr. Does this make sense?
