Also a previous LP12 owner and as stated above the Linn mat will yield the best performance. I was told that Linn has a wall of mats and belts that they have experimented with thru the years and have determined the current products are the best. I had tried a couple and always returned to the Linn. Also I changed my belt and mat every year as they do wear with time. Maybe a bit anal but I just may be a bit anal;)
Replacement Linn LP12 mat
I'm looking for some recommendations for a new platter mat for my vintage LP12. The original felt mat is a bit worn so I'd to replace it as well as upgrade it. I'd prefer not to have to adjust the height of the tonearm so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a mat that's the same thickness as the original factory mat. I'm considering the Origin Live mat which is 1mm thick but I'm not sure if it's a good match. Thanks very much for your time and suggestions. Much appreciated!
