FluanceAcrylic Platter Mat for Turntables - Reduces Vibrations for Improved Sound Clarity for Vinyl Record Playback, Antistatic, Precision Machined, Compatible with 12" Record Players (PM50)

Night and day difference in sound quality...don't think about it and just buy it!

I did not like the felt slipper mat that my new Yamaha TT-S303 turntable came with and after much research decided on trying an acrylic mat. I ordered this one from Fluance and a similar model from Hudson Hi Fi. The Fluance arrived yesterday and I did an audio comparison between it and the OEM felt mat. I used a selection of 70's and 80's rock, Modern Jazz and several classical recordings for my evaluation. With each LP there was a noticeable difference between both mats. The Fluance acrylic allowed a discernible sharpening and definition of the mid-range while also enhancing and broadening the lows and highs over the felt. I have a somewhat vintage system, a Yamaha RX-596 powering Klipsch SB-3's and the acrylic mat proved to be an excellent addition to this system. I was so pleased that I canceled the order for the Hudson mat. The frosted finish really looks cool on my all black turntable and the manufacture was spot on. Every one's system and especially everyone's ear is different so you may not achieve the same results as I did, but for me this was a real plus.

Nice Product

While it’s priced a bit higher than others offered on Amazon, this platter mat offers the usual Fluance qualty. It’s slight recessed where the record label sits so the vinyl playing surface sits flat on the platter. It’s a translucent mat that matched the acrylic platter on my turntable. Dimensions were accurate and the center hole fit perfectly on the spindle.

Bought one last month, June 2024, put it on Flu an e R84. Hooks up my 40 year old linear tracking Mitsubishi LT-22 couple of days ago, and it sounds great with new cartridge. For grins, swapped out acrylic platter on there. Right away, drums didn't slur (last as long?), is that tighter? Not an audiophile, but my wife heard it,too. I'm 71, she's 69, but both of us heard it, so must be something. Really wanted that thick one Flange has, but it's $120. This thin one actually has a better rating. I can't hear in restaurants, movies, or in crowds, but this sounds better to me. Crazy, right?

i did notice a difference on my audio-technica xp140 turntable. i'm glad i switched to this from a felt mat.

I really like how this looks but bought this to help me reduce static. It hasn’t really worked except for my newer records. Was really hoping this would work better.

Excellent upgrade to other turntable mats I have used on my Technics SL1200GR. Standard rubber mat and Oyaide BR-12 among others no match for the Fluance Acrylic mat. Great buy for $30!!
