Platter mat for Technics 1210

[da2222]

Hi Guys

My brother has got a 1210 and I'd like to get him a decent platter mat to replace the standard rubber one. Any recommendations out there? Thanks!

Oyaide BR-12 looks cool on the technics and works well. I use one on a 1510.

Hi Mike, that sounds good- unfortunately it's a Christmas present and I need to buy it abroad to get there in time...

There are a lot of different turntable mats out there with different materials and solutions for better sound. I use the previous Oyaide model MJ-12 on the SL-1200 which works great for me.

Some more alternatives here that are a bit different in approach:

Pluto Audio Copper & Carbon Mat

SteinMusic Perfect Interface mat

The two above are very thin and can be used on top of the existing Technics mat.

This is a replacement for the existing mat:

Crystal glass I found to be the best.
