I needed something a bit thinner on my platter as the rubber mat I was using was too high. I quite liked the mat as it produced no static at all and sounded very good. I prefer felt but can stand the static it generates which then causes problems with noise and dust that just gets irritating.

I peeled some 1mm thick cork from its cardboard backing from a cheap pin board. I stuch a layer of the cork on an old cheap, thin record that was flat.

I have to say its very good

The old record?? well it was Azwad, Too Wicked EP. When I first played it, it was so bad I thought "Don't turn around" but now it has a new lease of life.
