The acrylic platter/clamp system are designed to provide you with all you need for great playback. Most aftermarket mats are designed to compensate for a platter deficiency.

Tried felt, Sorbothane, Herbie's (btw, am a BIG proponent of the Grungebuster for CD's though). Mats on the Scout/Scoutmaster deaden the sound and muck up the pace and drive. Harry Weisfield designs this way for a reason. Give that platter a hearty rap with your knuckle (without a record on it, please). No ringing, no feedback. Nuff said. But if anyone insists, I have a 95.00 Audioquest Sorbo mat I'll let go for a low low price....
