This mat replaced the OEM one on a AT LP60X. I was having issues with the records taking the old mat with them after removing them from the turntable. No longer an issue. It is slightly larger than the turntable edge, but we're talking maybe an 1/8", and it does not affect performance.

• Much better than the original felt mat my turntable came with - reducing static• Doesn't stick to the record when lifting• Center hole could be a bit tighter fit• Slightly Smaller than 33 records so your not lifting the mat up

The original mat for my turntable has hardened as you might expect for rubber that's about 45 years old, so I was looking for a replacement. Tried cork, didn't like it; all kinds of issues with static and bits of cork on my records, and the one I got was thinner than advertised. There's a lot of contradictory advice and straight up bogus marketing out there, so after making a breakdown of the different options (velvet, acrylic, etc) and their pros and cons, I decided silicone rubber was my best bet and after trying this I believe I was correct. It doesn't cling to the records at all, there's zero slippage, the sound I get is very rich, and as a bonus it looks cool. If you need a replacement mat, or just want an upgrade from a crap mat you got with your turntable, this is it.

I have a ProJect Debut Carbon Eco which (ridiculously) shipped to me with a thin, felt platter topper atop the all metal core platter. In winter, that felt cover turns into a static magnet, ruining the listening quality of vinyl. But enough about ProJect's cheapness on a supposed higher-quality turntable. I bought this replacement to do a few things. First, to upgrade the stability of the platter, second to reduce static. Well... it is a solid piece of rubber (although the multi-depth rings on the platter are a bit more than odd - my guess they're either cost savings via less rubber used or for appearance sake). At any rate, it fits my platter well and I have no problem removing albums from atop it, as others have reported in reviews. I *did* expect better static control comparing the rubber of this product to the simple felt from ProJect. And MAYBE I hear a reduction - maybe - but not enough for me to give it an enthusiastic four stars. This rubber platter topper is definitely an upgrade from what ProJect shipped me from the factory - it looks good, is dense and thick enough to be of good quality, but dust didn't do enough for me in static reduction to be four stars. Overall, I'd purchase it again, especially given the silly thin, static-magnet felt that ProJect used.

Works perfectly with my LP120x. Like seriously, i've tried a bunch of different mats to varying results.The stock felt mat, cork mats, even acrylic mats. All of those have their own issues. Cork left residue on the vinyl, and felt mats had SO MUCH static that it stuck to the vinyl half the time...Acylic is fine but mine was not cut well and was too small, meaning it was difficult to remove the vinyl when you were done with it, and often times you wound up pulling up both the vinyl and the acrylic mat. But this rubber mat? Fantastic.Thick enough that it doesnt feel cheap, and heavy enough that it wont stick to your vinyl when static occurs. Now, that being said, yes static WILL still happen. But its much easier to manage and honestly, it doesnt bother me anymore since it never gets stuck on my vinyl.It also looks great, and just feels solid. Sound wise? Honest answer is i cant tell a difference between cork, rubber, felt, and acrylic. But this rubber mat has the best use experience for me.

This is my 4th attempt at trying to find a mat replacement for my Technics SL-D2 turntable. The original has lost nearly all of its visco-elastic properties; but, it's to be expected. It's 40 years old.I will not go too much into first attempt; but, I'll admit that it was more or less my fault, felt. I was going for aesthetics; but, what was shipped was the wrong color, and well, the static cling present right out of the package,... Nope! So back it went.For my 2nd attempt, after reading a many a varied review, I decided to go with a cork mat. Wrong Again! I'll just say that the static cling emanating from it nearly required a spatula to separate it from the bottom of the album every time I removed an album from the turntable platter.Next I tried "leather". Looks good, sounds okay; but, again with the static. I'm like, let me check my ground. Nope, all good at the receptacle snug metal contact. So at this point I'm discouraged as I'm back to the original nearly hard as nails mat.But then just by chance, there it was. Ywhomal's Turntable Rubber Mat. It's a mirror image of the original that's on my SL-D2. Exact same thickness, diameter, everything. Even the grooves... I am literally blown away. Top shelf quality.Take it from me, if you're looking for a rubber mat to replace the original on your vintage turntable, newer model; or whatever, look no further becasue this is the one!

This thing is perfect on SL 1200. No logo and fits nicely, partly covering the raised bare metal ring on outside edge of platter. Grooves are a little sharper and deeper than OEM, but nucely done If you want something more original you will have to go with an OEM, but I am literally the only one who will ever know this is aftermarket on my table. Good value. This is nicely made with good thickness and weight. No odorous off gassing, nice finish free of mold marks, mold release, or imperfections. Nice softness for damping but hard enough formula to clean in the kitchen sink when dusty.
