Pro-Ject Audio Systems Cork-IT Turntable Platter Mat Upgrade

Really did enhance the midrange and reduced the static clicks to almost zero. Well worth buying.

I bought the Project Cork Turntable Mt for my Pro-ject Xperience turntable. The mat is the perfect fit for the platter and falls bout 1.5 mm shy of the edge. It looks the part, despite not being black, as per the rest of the turntable. It actually gives a welcome splash of colour to my hi-Fi.In practicality, it is far, far superior to the felt mat which came as standard with my turntable. Whereas my felt mat used to regularly lift up with the vinyl when changing records, this cork model has only done so once in about 50 spins so far. The static issues are virtually none-existent. It may be my imagination, but my records appear to even sound slightly better. As I say, this may be my imagination, but perception is truth, as they say.£20 for a cork disk is a lot of money, but I'm sure glad I spent it as £20 is a gnat's d1ck when compared to the overall cost of my prized record collection.

This mat is great, I did not detect any difference really to the sound but static was much improved.My only comment is the Amazon listing has it as 3mm thick which is incorrect, it is thinner than this (1.5mm according to the Pro-ject site) so bear this in mind as it will have an impact on your VTA.

This cork mat replaced the felt mat provided with my Project Debut SE3 Turntable. It is very thin, so that there is no need to adjust the arm height. It reduces static dramatically compared with the felt mat. WOW This mat makes a HUGE difference to the already good sound from this deck. I can only describe it as "more detailed" and "solid" - these are words you see in HiFi reviews and you think they are just fancy, but in fact they all came true when this mat hit the platter. I really am listening to my old records as if I had new ears. I think it is a serious upgrade to te Debut SE3 for such low cost.

This is better than the rubber mat I had before and maybe I'm missing the point but it's not cheap and although records sound good with the mat I can't really tell how much better they are, the one thing I can say is it sticks to vinyl like glue. I'm forever trying to get split the record from the mat when I remove the album from the platter.

Good product. 1.5 mmm thick which is same as felt mat it replaced. No indent for the label on record but thats fine as if using record clamp that might cause record to bend up at edges defeating the object of the mat and clamp.

Straight out of the package, the mat left an unbelievable amount of debris on my records and continued to do so even after I brushed it clean. Tried to use it on a couple records and it generated so much static that it stayed stuck to the record when I lifted it up. Not sure if I got a dud but very disappointed, instant return

I got this to replace the standard felt mat on my Pro-Ject turntable. The felt mat constantly lifted with the record when removing it from the platter but this one has stayed in place so far.I think it makes your records sound better than the standard felt mat.

Purchased for a Rega Planar 3 (glass platter). Fits perfectly (the radius of the mat is about 1 mm smaller than the radius of the platter). The mat is thin (1.5 mm thick), and has no recess for the label portion of the record (in other words, it’s perfectly flat).I recently switched from a Rega cartridge (13.5 mm high) to a Nagaoka cartridge (17.5 mm high) without adding a spacer under the tonearm to compensate for the different cartridge heights. Swapping the Rega felt mat for the Pro-Ject mat brought the tonearm closer to level (parallel) with the platter. Other benefits: more detail, no static “cling” (in our forced-air heated home). Highly recommended to Rega owners.

Dünne Kork Matte.Zum Ausgleich von Höhenunterschieden kann man sie benutzen wenn der Tonarm keine Möglichkeit dazu hat.Ansonsten bleiben die statischen Aufladungen weiterhin bestehen und die Korkmatte klebt an den Platten fest und verliert auch winzige Partikel die auf der aufgeladenen Platte kleben bleiben.Korkmatte besser unter der schweren Gummimatte benutzen!

Lo compré principalmente para mantener la estática bajo mínimos y en este sentido es ligeramente mejor que otros "mats" para giradiscos.En lo que sí mejora es en el sonido. Hace muy buen contacto con el giradiscos y el propio LP, parece que fueran todo una pieza, y eso consigue que el típico "rumble" (sonido de baja frecuencia que viene del giro del motor, bien sea de correa o tracción directa y del contacto de la aguja con el propio disco) disminuya al máximo.Estoy muy contento con él, lleva varios meses en mi giradiscos, un Goldring GR-1 (un híbrido entre un Rega Planar 1 y Planar 2,fabricadopor Rega) y ahí va a estar mucho tiempo porque me gusta el sonido que le ha dado a mi giradiscos. Lo volvería a comprar sin duda.

Product as described. Clean and nice upgrade to cheap felt on Rega P1.

Efficace. mantiene quello che promette e il risultato è una migliore e maggiore definizione della scena sonora. Il miglioramento è immediatamente udibile e verificabile. Ottimo prodotto. Ha praticamente annullato una fastidiosa risonanza tra testina e piatto del giradischi in metallo. Si tratta di sughero e non di feltro. Non ho riscontrato alcun problema circa cariche elettrostatiche o altro. Direi che è perfetto.
