Default Turntable antistatic mat?

Tzortzakakis Dimitris said...

The only problem is that the (new) one has become
dirty, is it safe to wash it with a mild detergent, with warm water,
manually?


Hi Tzortzakakis, I should think it would be fine. The only problem
would be making sure that it dries perfectly flat.

I've been using a mat made from anti-slip foamed mesh like this...

I just cut it to fit and fastened it to the platter with double sided
tape, it is pictured here...

It works very well grips the record and seems to reduce surface noise.

Well Tempered labs use it as well.
