Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork.

joscow if this table is new to you and don't know how old belt, mat and bearing oil is change it all out buying from a reputable Linn dealer and not eBay. Should be less than $100. Then download a protractor from vinyl engine 50hz/211mm protractor or protractor made for Linn arms bring it to a print shop and have them print to scale. I also have a Linn basic LVX tonearm I have paired with Axis which is not as good as your Akito. With fresh oil,mat, belt and set up properly I was really shocked what $100 in parts and a little time setting up the table properly how good the old Axis with basic tonearm can sound. A lot cheaper than buying a stack of mats that may not even sound right.

Paul Creed,
Will try. Many thanks

I want to thank the many of you who have offered comments and/ or suggestions. I am proceeding to evaluate some of them.

@joscow,

If you decide to try MyMat, I'll give you a 25 percent discount on your second one, which be I'm sure you'll want.

It simply is one of the few mats I had to make some comparisons. Certainly, the OP should try other mats. Nowhere did I suggest that more expensive mats like the gunmetal suggested by Chakster would be inferior or not options. Thanks.

Good idea
