Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It!

I recently tried some PEEK film w/ adhesive backing ( .0002" thick) on the metal plate of the VPI dual pivot upgrade. Big positive upgrade! Increased quiet, clarity and definition.

If anyone is interested, PM me, I’ll send a pre-cut piece for $10.00 mailed.

For all VPI record cleaner owners, the 2" clamping knob is such a great item. Luxurious to use and makes the process seem less of a hassle. 

All,

Where there is moisture, there is a good environment for mold to grow. This is an understood fact of nature.

Why don’t Audiophile’s won’t to accept these basic facts of nature?

....... another reason...,

A big problem with machines like the Audio Desk ( I own one) and the KL is the inability to be able to actually clean the inside water tank. This makes a DIY cleaner another big plus.

@dodgealum ,

Sorry, the MyMat is a one time product I developed out of love for this (hobby) and don't intend to make a business out of it. I can send you some pictures if you'll send me your email by PM. 

BTW, I currently sell them through PMs.

There is a review in the works by a respected third party that I'll post a link to when it's finished. Thanks for your interest.

@lalitk ,

A record mat dampens (a mechanical bearing) vibrations, and platter resonance, allowing the cartridge to trace the record groove more accurately, equalling better sound.

A well thought out record mat.
I use two MyMats.

I'm the MyMat designer.

A hand held steamer. If for nothing else, to clean all of your record cleaning brushes/velvet pads. They will last much longer as well as stay clean whenever you're ready to use them.

@lalitk ,

If you’re willing to go with a Chinese US tank, a DIY cleaner will do better than the Pro-Ject for under $500.00. You’ll need a spinner and you could add a filtering system, all within your budget.

US = ultrasonic
