Audio Technica AT-LP120BK/AT-LP-1200 Turntable Platter Mat - 12 Inch Rubber Silicone Slipmat (Universal Compatible)

Nice, just like original on my Technics SL-D2

The media could not be loaded. Back in 2015 I happened to pawn a nice Technics sld 2:02 direct drive turntable at an estate sale for 20 bucks. The cartridge and the head shell were mangled and the dust cover was ruin and the rubber mat looked pretty shoddy. With a little TLC I got up things up and running in very little time.First of all.. I made sure that the motor was working and it was although a little sluggish but I knew what to do. A drop or two of light silicone motor oil and we were good to go. I already had the fantastic audio file sure m97xe phone cartridge on hand mounted in an SME type head shell that I purchased here for about 17 bucks. It is still available on this website for that price which is phenomenal! Also the tonearm counterweight inside threads were a little bit rough so I thoroughly cleaned him with an alcoholic wipe and the counterweight went on as expected.After cleaning the pitch control with some WD-40 electronic spray that I purchased here also for a reasonable price I manage to get the speed of the turntable pretty sturdy and the strobe working properly. Now all I needed was to address the beat up original rubber mat. Lo and behold this product presented itself to me LOL and I'm glad it did!The seller described it as suitable for a Technics turntable and indeed it is! At least I think so. That is reasonable price it really cannot be beat and only requires an occasional cleaning with a wipe of sorts to maintain its beauty and aesthetically pleasing quality. It grabs the record rather nicely and minimizes static and don't listen to that guy who suggests using these rubber mats as Frisbees LOL. There is always one of those nose up in the air snobs that think they're the ultimate audio files that would have you believe that. In my 74 years of life I've been around the block a few times with audio equipment so I know what I'm doing. This is supposed to be a fun hobby and indeed it can be with minimal cost to you if you use your head. Remember you ultimately are the judge of a given piece of equipments performance. I'd say for the price this rubber mat performs rather well it's intended use. The prices quite reasonable and the shipping and the packaging was more than adequate and quite fast. Happy listening...PJSII GOD BLESS YOU!

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.

• 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

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.

Nice platter mat replacement. Would recommend.

After the 40+ years, the original rubber platter mat that came with my Realistic LAB-420 turntable has turned into a hardened oily mess. The original mat was about 3.7mm thick, and the turntable does not have adjustable VTA. This replacement mat is 3mm, so I also purchased a thin felt mat and placed it underneath to make the total thickness about 4mm - and it sounds good! You can currently buy specific thickness mats, but they will cost a LOT more than this one. This one appears to be made of a flexible silicone rubber that shouldn't disintegrate after 40+ years, but I probably won't be around to find out.

excellent just as advertised
