Technics SL-1200G Mat Recommendations

You can’t go wrong with SAEC SS-300 mat. It fits SP-10MKII platter, SP-20, SL1210mkII platter, i mostly using my SS-300 on Luxman PD-444.

Saec SS-300 alloy mat (870g) eliminates the distortion-producing resonance in the 200-400Hz range, which is common to most all conventional rubber mats. This results in a 10~20dB net reduction in overall resonance, to further reduce distortion at its source. Some cartridges are sensivite to the rotor under the platter, felt mats can’t solve the problem.

Honestly, I don’t know any better matt for the price under $400

@chakster Try the Oracle mat.

I use on my GAE, the Boston audio mat 2, after many attempts with other mats. It's the most neutral for my set up.  

For several years I used Origin Live mats on both my GAE and my VPI HW-40.  A few months ago I switched to the newer Origin Strata.  I could not believe the improvement.  It is well worth the price, at 295 British Pounds, money back guarantee.  You can't go wrong.  One word of advice, Origin offers a special reduced size mat for Technics TTs, I don't like it, it looks funny.  Buy the standard size mat.  Either size works fine and sounds the same to my ears, I own both as bought one for my VPI too.  BTW, I have tried them all, including a mega buck paper thingy from Japan that sounded pretty good too, but this Strata beats them all hands down.

I use a Stein Music Perfect Interface mat on my 1200G - sounds great to me!
