Premium slipmat - Cork Turntable Mat for Better Sound Support on Vinyl LP Record Player - Cork mat Original Art Design - Psychedelic Geometric The Flower of Life (4mm Thick)-m6

I cant speak to a difference in sound quality, but the design looks absolutely amazing. It was a bit too bright for my tastes, but after putting an acrylic plattermat on top (and adjusting the vertical height of the tonearm), it looks amazingThe mat is nice and thick, and will be browsing other designs for my other turntables!EDIT:After a year and a half, the mat still looks like new. I have noticed a dramatic reduction in static, and bass does seem a little clearer with it. I would say this is a solid upgrade if you either have static issues, or a direct drive turntable. It does help! Just make sure your tone arm sits level and your spindle is tall enough, this mat is thick! (Was a bit too thick to use on my oneby1, but fits well on my at1240 and id imagine on a at 120)

Great sound quality and slightly different listening experience than a rubberized mat. Highly recommend.

Bought this because I wanted to simply upgrade the felt slip that came with the Audio Technica. Not to “eliminate static” or cause it would improve quality. Just didn’t want to keep the factory slip mat. The first few plays I could literally hear the crackle of static whenever I removed a record and figured the item was trash but I was also standing in my carpeted office with socks on. Recently I haven’t heard or felt the static. Reason? Who knows?Sound quality-GREAT! But did I tape record the sound before I replaced the felt mat. Well, no. So maybe it’s a bias in my head? But at least it looks pretty damn cool. And it wasn’t expensive.

I've only used this mat a handful of times as the only mat on my table's platter and just like my previous experience with cork over the years, the additional static build-up is noticeably worse. It's fine when the humidity is higher in the house for the most part but I've noticed as soon as it drops below around 50% the static becomes awful, even more than standard rubber mats which never ceases to amaze. Beyond that, it's quite thick at 4mm and generally well made. The design is nice.I kept this mat as a cosmetic piece only - it sits beneath an acrylic platter mat (as shown in the "orange" photos) that I bought from another vendor. The acrylic mat *absolutely* helps control static, far and beyond either the rubber or cork mats I've had. It's night and day. I highly recommend this combo and only use the cork because I was tired of seeing the holes in the actual platter through the acrylic mat (as well as a manufacturers sticker I've yet to peel off). ONE LARGE CAVEAT HOWEVER: my setup will really only work if using it on a table that allows for VTA adjustment (adjustment of tonearm height). With the 4mm thickness of Taz Studio cork mat combined with the 3mm thickness of the acrylic mat I'm basically maxed on my VTA adjustment for my current cartridge and can't get anything taller than I currently have (an LP Gear "The Vessel" cart). Other than that, I'm super happy with this combination. The cork-rubber mat also has the added benefit of not allow the acrylic one to slip nearly as much on the metal platter like it can sometimes do when used alone. (It only does this while brushing a record with a little extra pressure and isn't a big deal - the cork mat beneath it and an added record weight solves the issue completely).

Very impressed, definitely sounds better than my rubber mat. I have one worped record and it skips with the rubber mat, but doesn’t skip at all with the cork mat, it definitely cuts down on vibration from a worped record, get one will not disappoint and has a bunch of cool pictures to choose from.

The cork material has definitely cut down on the static electricity, and popping and cracking of the music. Well worth the money.

Such an excellent product. Not only does it look great still, and it looks memorizing while spinning, but it changes the SOUND of your records because it's made of cork. I can tell a difference in bass, it's a bit more punchy, I didn't notice much else in sound change but definitely bass. My favorite is putting down a clear colored vinyl so that i can still see the design of the slip mat through the vinyl. I love it

I ordered this turntable mat out of curiosity because the pattern looks cool, but did not expect it to sound so good especially considering it’s very modest price. My turntable, tonearm and cartridge combination is a high end set up costing north of US$500K and I tried several esoteric (reads expensive) mats before. They all sounded slightly different and the one which stood out was the Harmonix TU-800M which costs over US$1000, amazingly this modest cork mat achieve at least 80% of that highest standard at a tiny fraction of cost. Highly recommended!!

Perfecto

Arrived in perfect condition and did just as advertised.

No static. Which was the main reason for buying it. Might be a bit too expensive for what you get but whatever, looks great!

Comme déjà mentionné en anglais par une autre personne, j'ai reçu le produit avec le trou central légèrement décentré. OU peut-être que c'est la découpe qui n'est pas parfaitement ronde ?Cela fait que ça tourne un peu ''ovale'' mais rien de grave.La qualité est très bonne (le liège et l'encre du motif) et l'épaisseur (4mm) est parfaite pour ma table AT-LP120xPas de statique et bonne qualité du son à comparer avec le couvre plateau d'origine en ''tissu/laine'' ou ceux en ''rubber''Je recommande !
