We have regularly scheduled programming?
Well, as "regular" as this thread gets...
Hoping that now the holiday is past this thread livens up a little.

They usually have something up around this time of year saying, "No specials here. Why don't you pay attention to your family today?"

Vinyl playback question.
What's better - a platter mat made of rubber or cork? I see a lot of those two offered as upgrades over felt, prices are similar.

Stereophile's Michael Fremer did a comparison a while ago of some platter mats. The consensus was an expensive cork one sounded best. IIRC, it was around $18. So I got one and haven't looked any further.

Out of curiosity, what turntable do you have?

Or no mat at all. It depends on the turntable and what the platter is made of (glass, metal, acrylic, vinyl). It is a tuning/preference choice and there is no straight answer.

One can always cram the cork in ones ears and use the felt as blindfold for classical A/B-ing.

Yeah, I have an acrylic platter and do not use a mat with it.

My current turntable is an older audio Technica, aluminum platter, rubber mat. I'm giving to my dad to replace his turntable/speakers in a box, and looking to replace it with one of the fluance tt's. Both of those models have alum platters.
