The
DM233L leather turntable mat is designed to enhance the sound of your
turntable. Fitting over the center spindle and sitting comfortably on a
12" platter, the mat is designed to offer a better playback surface than
the felt or cork alternatives.
This mat will provide an upgrade
to standard felt mats and improve the sound of your favorite records by
dampening resonance and lowering overall noise and static. How does a leather
slipmat do all this? Turntable mats have
been always a big discussion on how they influence the sound. The interaction
between the record and the surface can be tracked very easily by the super
sensitivity of a good pick up cartridge. Common felt mats give a smooth contact
between record and platter but has the disadvantage with static. That means
that felt mats often collect a lot of dust which can be then transferred to the
record. Also the damping ability is very limited which can be a problem with
metal platters. Thick rubbermats over damp the record and have an isolation
effect which leaves the static on the record and hearable noise clicks are the
result. Leather and Cork are two different, but very interesting options to upgrade
the sound quality. Resonances are dampened more effectively than felt, and they
keep dust away and avoid static. What is better depends on taste and the actual
platter design. A very cost effective way to improve the sound and have less
noise by static and dust
