Yamaha_man Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Just spotted a central station TT mat in the classifieds, bought back memories. Here's one I just dug out of the cupboard! Show us what you've got!!! Edited May 6, 2020 by Yamaha_man 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EV Cali Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I come across slipmats now and then amongst record collections I purchase. Although I own a couple of SL 1200 , I do not have a use for them. This one is used to stop the zip on Rolling Stones ,Sticky Fingers damaging the cover of the record in front of it, So afraid I am unable to tell you any thing about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzii Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 no clever wording, but thought they looked striking when I ordered them last year. unfortunately couldn't use them as they were not properly finished to be smooth on the surface. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken a close up photo. Edited May 6, 2020 by PKay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantan Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have some of the discs that are placed under my TT and components, but as you can see they also do a platter mat. I cannot say that thediscs made any difference, but I got them for cheap as an experiment. https://www.lesdavisaudio.com.au/3d-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter-C Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Much like the Les Davis mat, my Soundeck Mat uses CLD (constrained layer damping). Not using it atm, it’s a little heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
