Nagaoka and analogue studio glass mat

Apologies it is 6mm not 3mm. Good call but not sure if it will strain the motor as I have been using it like this for a while. The only problem I find with out the weight it's hard to clean the record as it slips on the glass with out it.

The motor won't even break a sweat its got bags of torque for lots of extra weight.

On the point of the lip on the platter - I have cut a lovely round circle of leather from a carefully selected new wash leather (consistent thickness and smoothly dressed). It's just thick enough to raise a larger solid platter mat above the lip and leather is often thought to make a good platter mat. It works very nicely in combination with my Funk Firm Acromat and I also use a spare Michell clamp to good effect.

I believe the slippy nature of glass is why Rega put a thin felt mat on their glass platters.

I tried numerous mats under the crystal mat and came to the conclusion that they took away a lot of microdetail when used in combo with the crystal mat. These mats work best with metal. Why do think microseiki and other Japanese companies used glass and metal in the first place?

Hi guys just received my glass mat and got 15min to try it out . 1st thing is that It came excellently packed well done to them. Now sound wise ,I should mention that I am using the stock platter and has the DYNAMAT EXTREME modification . My fist impression is very positive ,the sound got clearer which brought out more micro detail,basically every thing was more detailed with more realism,my only nitpicking is the bass was oh so slight boomier than the rubber mat but at the same time still tight. I am quite pleased with it as it is definitely an upgrade from the stock 3mm rubber mat, l recommend this glass mat without hesitation,great upgrade.

Glad it all worked out. I notice a lot more detail in instruments during acoustic music with the glass mat. To get around the boomer bass try lifting the VTA slightly. If you are using the stock arm it's a doddle.
