Audio Technica AT-LP120BK/AT-LP-1200 Turntable Platter Mat - 12 Inch Rubber Silicone Slipmat (Universal Compatible)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this and an acrylic to compare with the felt one I had previously and this was a game changer. I wanted to order a custom logo felt one but this one blew the others out of the water so I stayed with this instead.

Well-made heavy rubber mat to protect your vinyl. Would buy again.

I needed a mat replacement for my Technics SL-D2 turntable.Went on adventures trying acrylic, cork, felt.Ended up with this silicone mat.LP records sound neutral, natural. I use an elliptical stylus and with this combination 1970s records sound authentic, as supposed to back in the day.

The media could not be loaded. Back in 2015 I happened to pawn a nice Technics sld 2:02 direct drive turntable at an estate sale for 20 bucks. The cartridge and the head shell were mangled and the dust cover was ruin and the rubber mat looked pretty shoddy. With a little TLC I got up things up and running in very little time.First of all.. I made sure that the motor was working and it was although a little sluggish but I knew what to do. A drop or two of light silicone motor oil and we were good to go. I already had the fantastic audio file sure m97xe phone cartridge on hand mounted in an SME type head shell that I purchased here for about 17 bucks. It is still available on this website for that price which is phenomenal! Also the tonearm counterweight inside threads were a little bit rough so I thoroughly cleaned him with an alcoholic wipe and the counterweight went on as expected.After cleaning the pitch control with some WD-40 electronic spray that I purchased here also for a reasonable price I manage to get the speed of the turntable pretty sturdy and the strobe working properly. Now all I needed was to address the beat up original rubber mat. Lo and behold this product presented itself to me LOL and I'm glad it did!The seller described it as suitable for a Technics turntable and indeed it is! At least I think so. That is reasonable price it really cannot be beat and only requires an occasional cleaning with a wipe of sorts to maintain its beauty and aesthetically pleasing quality. It grabs the record rather nicely and minimizes static and don't listen to that guy who suggests using these rubber mats as Frisbees LOL. There is always one of those nose up in the air snobs that think they're the ultimate audio files that would have you believe that. In my 74 years of life I've been around the block a few times with audio equipment so I know what I'm doing. This is supposed to be a fun hobby and indeed it can be with minimal cost to you if you use your head. Remember you ultimately are the judge of a given piece of equipments performance. I'd say for the price this rubber mat performs rather well it's intended use. The prices quite reasonable and the shipping and the packaging was more than adequate and quite fast. Happy listening...PJSII GOD BLESS YOU!

Hole too big and center is not even. Will see if center will flatten after some time

Perfect mat for my Audio-Technica lp120. No tracking adjustment needed, well made, helps with bass response, and reduces static.

Use this to replace on my turntable. Good quality! Arrive quickly! Highly recommend!

Nice platter mat replacement. Would recommend.
