Description: Auralex® Platter Matter v2™ Turntable Mat w/ Free Auralex Felt Slipmat & Free Shipping To All 50 States! This audiophile-quality replacement mat is the result of years of R&D and is a quick, easy and affordable upgrade that can instantly improve the sound of your vinyl. You chose the best turntable, cartridge and cables, but your mat may be sabotaging your sound. To assess our mat's sonic improvements, we let a large number of audio professionals listen to the Platter Matter v2 during our extensive R&D process. These professionals have hundreds of years of pro audio, broadcast, live performance, studio and audiophile experience among them. Many have experience as touring musicians. Some are graduates of the Berklee College of Music. Some have been store managers for the biggest music store brands in the industry. Some have played on and/or engineered hit records, TV shows, podcasts and motion pictures. In short, these professionals are trained, experienced listeners whose livelihoods depend on their ability to assess sonic nuances. They UNANIMOUSLY agreed that the Platter Matter v2 presents a more accurate version of the source material than the OEM and aftermarket mats against it was auditioned. They heard what you'll hear: Transients seem sharper. Audio seems to emerge from a blacker background. Details often emerge that were previously unheard. In addition, your cartridge is better isolated from picking up mechanical turntable noise. Your stylus is more immune to skipping and less likely to be affected by acoustic feedback from your loudspeakers and subwoofers. We accomplish this exceptional performance by our careful choices of material and industrial design, both of which foster a more intimate coupling of the mat to the vinyl than is achieved with lesser products. The Platter Matter v2 was inspired by a similar device that went extinct many decades ago. We owned a dozen of those and while they were an improvement over stock mats (even the heavy ones that came with the Technics SL1200 and other turntables), we always felt we could improve upon the mat's formulation and performance. It took a lot of R&D and optimizing of the device's physical and acoustical properties, but we feel we've succeeded nicely and that you'll be quite pleased with the result of our efforts. The Platter Matter v2 is a very heavy mat and has a grippy feel. You can expect it to retain its feel much better than the original, which was known to get glazed, slick, harder-feeling and to change color, all of which are indicative of detrimental oxidation. The Platter Matter v2 is appropriately sized to support your record where it needs to be supported, and not where it doesn't. The Platter Matter v2 is 11.5748" wide and .25" thick (see the last two photos that accompany this listing). This sale includes a custom Auralex imprinted felt slipmat, which is helpful when DJing and can even be advantageous when not. The Platter Matter v2 and custom slipmat are shipped in a custom jacket that looks awesome and tells the story of how the Platter Matter v2 came about. Upgrade the sound of your vinyl easily and affordably. Add the Platter Matter v2 turntable mat to your audio setup today! ### Your purchase helps support the important work of our animal charity foundation, which provides care for special-needs animals and promotes shelter adoptions and spay/neuter.
