VSPM with sticker

VIBRO-STOP 287mm Platter Mat

Universal fit for most turntables.

If you own a turntable, then you really need to hear 

how just how good VSPM can make it sound!


Developed by a professional Audio Engineer with over 30 years in the business, this amazing platter-mat will enhance the quality on almost any system...! The VSPM material has been carefully tested and selected for optimal performance, and the results really show in the sonics!


PLEASE NOTE Buyer please be alert! 

Unlike ordinary acrylic or plastic mats, ours are of a specifically optimized material offering "Gold Standard" performance. The difference is measurable and audible, and we are the only ones showing any measurements as published proof. Plus, we have many HUNDREDS of positive testimonials...  Look over our feedback and you will see. If you really want the "Gold Standard" get a VSPM... Accept no substitutes!


So... Just what makes our Vibro-Stop Platter-Mat better and different from its imitators?

1) The special grade of materials, treated with our proprietary process, has unique sonic properties. It's our secret. And it only comes in black.

2) The 287mm diameter is specifically chosen to minimize the negative effect of edge-warps on the LP. We don't offer other sizes as this has been proven to be the optimal for most LPs.

3) Measured proof of performance. No one else offers this!

4) Conditional Money-back guarantee! If you don't like it we will buy it back! (UK only, see details in 'Price' section).

5) Check out the 800+ positive testimonials (feedback) showing that we deliver improved sonics! Positive feedback rating

Q: So...is this really better than a felt mat or rubber?     

A: YES!! And we have real-world measurements and LOTS of feedback to prove it!

Later in this listing we show some of our measurements of the VSPM vs felt mats... but the REAL proof is in the added pleasure VSPM will bring to your listening experience!


Here are just some testimonials from our eBay feedback:

Positive feedback rating  "Great seller & product, good open communications and the TT mat is working well!" a***u

Positive feedback rating "What a fantastic platter this is! My 1200 sounds amazing. A MUST. THANK YOU!" r***a

Positive feedback rating "Wow. Such an improvement on my SL120/SME/HANA SL. So much more detail." e***4

Positive feedback rating essential update for a technics sl1200. some very nice improment for sound r***k



Here is what VSPM delivers:


1) Even inexperienced listeners can tell the difference. From a real testimonial:

My wife doesn’t really know much about audio, but she readily heard and loved the difference in quality after installing your platter mat.”

2) Unlike our competitors we PROVE it is better… with measurements!

3) Saves BIG money! …. instead of spending many £1000’s on expensive rigs, VSPM gives you similar or BETTER sound quality for a fraction of the price. 


4) Works really, really well with almost any model or type of turntable.


5) Radically improves the appearance of most turntables - it is surprising to see how good the VSPM makes things look.

SCIENCE, MEASUREMENTS, PROOF

To properly measure the LP surface resonance issue, we had to custom build specialized vibration actuators and measurement systems.

(Note: Our products are developed and TESTED by a “golden-ear type” inventor with a BSEE and over 30 years in audio...)

We tested dozens of materials before finding the right mix for the VSPM... we ALSO tested many competitors' mats, including felt, leather, glass, cork, cork + ground rubber, laminated and “constrained layer” types, sorbothane, wood, acrylic, special rubber “audiophile mats” loaded with tungsten, metal mats, foamed plastic mats, and so on. 

The results? The VibroStop material significantly outperformed all others.

Ed. Note: We wonder why our imitators don't publish test results! You should wonder too...


Vibro-Stop vs. Technics Rubber Mat

Technics graph

As seen on the graph, Vibro-Stop (in blue) provides more than +10 to +14 dB of added suppression of LP surface resonances vs. the highly regarded Technics audiophile mat (in red). When compared against regular rubber mats the improvement gets to be over +25dB !!

----------------------------------------------


TECHNICAL DETAILS

Here's HOW the Vibro-Stop Platter Mat WORKS

1.) The action of the stylus on the record surface creates mechanical propagation waves in the material of the LP. These waves must be quickly dissipated or they will create many time-delayed reflections and "ghost-images" which make their way back to the stylus and create resonances, muddiness and colorations.

2.) Most platter mats do a very poor job of absorbing and dissipating these resonances and create very ragged LP surface frequency response.

3.) The material in the Vibro-Stop Platter Mat is a special grade and thickness of thermo-plastic selected after a great deal of materials testing. 

Our VSPM mat greatly reduces the unwanted vibrations that are caused by changes in the surface hardness between the LP and the mat or platter. 

4.) We found that for Technics, Denon, Rega, Sony, Dual and Linn turntables (and most other brands as well) there is an optimum hardness, thickness and mass that is needed: too much or too little and you lose performance. We've got the goldilocks formula dialed in: it's very near optimal, and it shows in superior measurements and audibly better results.

5.) Depending on your turntable, the VSPM can even reduce the transmission of spurious vibrations into the tone-arm! It reduces the “singing tonearm” syndrome so much that it can make even a humble little tonearm sound like something much more expensive. 

6.) Most turntable platters have metallic sounding colorations from the platters themselves.... these impart a somewhat edgy and harsh midrange to the music... and the factory-supplied rubber platter mats usually add a coloration which also makes it sound dull – edgy, harsh AND muddy/dull.... not a great combination!

7.) In contrast, Vibro-Stop Platter Mat reduces almost all of these colorations, and greatly helps with nearly all platters, whether direct-drive or belt-drive platters. 

8) Because many LPs have edge-warps, they can "push off " from the platter-mat surface. To help with this, at 287mm diameter, VSPM is deliberately sized to be smaller than the LP and avoid contact with most edge-warps.

Also, 287mm fits inside the raised outer ring found on some turntables. Example: most mats are too big for the Technics range, ours fits perfectly - on the great majority of turntables, Technics or other brands. Our mat system has another advantage: a milled recess for the record label. Result? LP surface sits flush on the VSPM for optimal resonance damping.

9.) Vibro-Stop Platter Mat GREATLY improves almost any turntable! It works its magic especially well with direct drive units from Technics, Sony, Yamaha, JVC and Denon, equally well with most belt-drive units including Rega, VPI or Linn-Sondek, and especially well with Garrard 301 and Lenco.

10.) Platter size: 287mm (11 3/8 inches) diameter and 3 mm thickness.


PLEASE NOTE: For heavy platter turntables (Technics SL1200, Garrard 301, and Lenco, etc.) buy the Double VSPM (two VSPMs back to back). Makes them even better !!
