So, if I get this right, you upgrade your platter to an expensive version, and then fit a reso-mat on top, completely making the upgraded platter redundant?
Seriously though, does it really matter what platter this is fitted to, as the interface is now the cone supports?
Does it work just as well on the standard techy platter, and will it save me £500? That buys an awful lot of vinyl.

I suspect it will always work better on a superior platter.

OK I should have read the Transfi website before asking. The mat is designed to sit directly on the SL1200 platter. But without the rubber mat the platter will ring. And will the removal of the rubber mat not reduce platter mass and affect speed stability?Originally Posted by rubber duck

Incidentally, when using this mat, is it still necessary to stop the turntable in order to change LP's?

No - I always leave the platter running when changing records and haven't damaged a single one in nearly three years of using this mat. It's a bit scary the first time though!

IMO, it sounds far better on the Funk platter than the stock Technics platter (although a vast improvement over the stock Techie mat and the SP10 mat on the stock platter), to my (inexperienced) ears the platter noticeably reduces back ground noise, that's the best way I can describe itSo, if I get this right, you upgrade your platter to an expensive version, and then fit a reso-mat on top, completely making the upgraded platter redundant?

I think for £35 this little platter mat might be worth a pop.

No good if you want to use a carbon brush , The record stops when you apply the brush .

OK, purchased one for a laugh. Lets see if it can improve the 1210 setup.
