Mats are a BIG mistake on a VPI turntable. The sound is perfectly balanced on their platters. Put on a mat and you will distort it.
And the record will never lay as flat with a mat.

Using a Cork turntable mat on VPI Scout
The VPI Scout turntable does not come with a turntable record mat, and I am thinking of making a mat out of Cork for my VPI Scout. I saw some 12" square Cork mat at Home Depot and I am thinking of getting one to use as a record mat. Does anyone have any idea about using a cork record mat on VPI turntables? Does the mat make it sounds better or not?
