PRO SPIN White Acrylic Turntable Mat - Platter Slipmat for 12" Vinyl Vintage Record Player - Antistatic Cover, Reduces Noise & Sounds from Static & Dust - Tighter Bass Quality, Record Player Mat

I recently picked up the PRO SPIN Clear Acrylic Turntable Mat to replace a cork mat, and the difference in static is night and day. If you’re tired of that scratchy white noise and those annoying pops, this is a must-have upgrade. Why it’s a game-changer: Major Static Reduction: Swapping from cork to acrylic has significantly cut down on the static and crackle. My records sound much cleaner now. Better Sound Profile: The bass feels tighter and punchier. Because the acrylic creates a solid grip and helps isolate vibrations, the overall tone is much more balanced and "full." Standard Fit: It fits my 12" platter perfectly—it's the standard 3mm thickness, so it didn't mess with my tonearm height (VTA) too much. Modern Aesthetic: It looks sleek on the turntable. I actually like it so much that I plan to purchase another one to upgrade my vintage Sansui SR-222. It’s a simple, high-quality fix for anyone dealing with static issues or looking for a more "modern" sound from their vintage setup.

While not a mind-blowing difference, this cool-looking acrylic mat does eliminate static (which is an issue in our pre-war) and offer a slight adjust to all jazz bass. For the price point, you’re getting a very good deal for a mostly aesthetic upgrade with a slight upgrade on sound. But, if you’re like me and have static issues, this mat is a must! It’s sleek, inexpensive, and does help a bit. For real. So, if you can swing it, get it. Otherwise, save the money for LPs!

The PRO SPIN Orange Glow Acrylic Turntable Mat is a fantastic upgrade for any vinyl setup. It not only looks striking with its vibrant design but also noticeably improves sound quality by reducing static, dust noise, and unwanted vibrations. Records sound cleaner with tighter bass, and the antistatic surface keeps them protected during play. A solid, stylish accessory that enhances both performance and presentation.

Great addition for my 1972 Dual 1218. Helps the 10" platter support the records a bit better. The clear option is crystal clear so you can still see everything below it. The vertical tracking angle for the stylus is still excellent and all of the automatic functions are unhindered, although if you use a vintage turntable with the multi-stacking function it could potentially be a problem. Dust cover still fits too. Absolute win.

4/5 stars is an incredibly nitpicky score for this item -- but hey, vinyl fans can be nitpicky people, so you deserve the truth on this one :) All in all, if you're like me, and just want to casually listen to your collected records in good quality without wrecking them -- and want them to look nice on the platter -- this is all you need! It sounds good, it's not thick enough to distort the angle of your tonearm, and it looks great with an empty platter, and even better with a translucent record. In terms of antistatic, it's better than a felt mat, not as good as cork. I keep my space at about 45% humidity, and I can still feel a slight bit of static cling when I pick some records up off the platter. And, over the last year, I have noticed that the platter isn't 100% flat anymore. It's certainly not enough warp to affect the sound, but it's worth keeping an eye on if you're particular about that kind of thing. Again - for the price, give it a shot. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised!

Works great and looks cool too

Helps my records sound great. Much better than the felt mat that came with my player.

Makes my colored records look so pretty, also helps prevent a lot of dust getting into the grooves on your records. I definitely recommend to those who still use the felt mat and have problems with constant dirty records OR have a bunch of colored records
