Exactly as described

I replaced my original mat with this one after more than 20 years of use - probably too long!. The new mat is exactly as described, appears well made and was delivered very quickly. The deck now has a new lease of life and my vinyl spins wonderfully flat. Spend the money, it's worth it.

Fantastic

This Turntable Mat has improved the sound of my Rega (2022) Planer 3

There is a smoothness to the bass and a calmness to the top end, which was a little bright.

Highly Recommended

Analogue Studio Cork rubber turntable mat
02 May 2021  | 

Replaced felt mat with with Cork & rubber mat. The deference was emediately apparent with deeper more rounded tones. Had to turn up the treble a little to balance this but all round a more enjoyable listening experience. Not tried any other material on my turntable. Initially planned to try a vinyl mat but went for the Cork instead. Not disappointed with my purchase.

It all seems a bit less busy.
28 November 2020  | 

I bought this as a replacement for the standard felt mat on an original Xerxes. Contrary to the ethos of the turntable, but there you go!

The original Xerxes has a lip around the outer rim of the platter, that I measured carefully and selected this mat on the basis of it's stated measurements.

It is slightly too large and I have remeasured to check. A non-issue for anybody with a flat platter.

The difference over the original mat was subtle, but clear. The background space is simply quieter. Not in terms of background noise, but it just seems to emphasise transients better and helps to focus instruments in their own space.

To put it another way the greater, more focused separation of images makes the space between them darker. It all just sounds less busy.

We're not talking the same difference as a phono stage upgrade, but you could spend a lot more on cables to notice a lot less of a difference.

That makes this a bargain.

Quality mat
25 April 2020  | 

Great quality and improved sound, although it is slightly thicker than 3mm. I haven't reset my vta as thinner vinyl sounds better with this mat and I switch back to the original mat for 180g vinyl.

This mat decreased the noise floor in the grooves, but at the same time it increased the music in the grooves! A good product and a worthwhile purchased.

Pretty good
07 September 2018  | 

There was a time when everything made sense and happened for a reason, not just for marketing hype. While acoustically the combination is good (cork and rubber), there are 2 drawbacks:

1. The diameter, which should be smaller, to fit just under the playing area (aprox 287-290 would've been fine) and also compensate for the warps which are mostly situated on the outside region.

2. The label recess could have been deeper, as vinyl with more prominent labels get lifted because of the small depth of the recess, and also unregulated. I started to smooth it down and regulate with some sandpaper, 180 granulation, and it ends up with a nice finish and also getting the depth right. But for this money, this shouldn't happen!

Acoustically, i prefer it over other materials, as the cork brings improvements to the bass and the rubber to the mid and highs.
