Way excellent ii turntable mat review.
That s actually very interesting.
Top 5 turntable mat reviews.
I put tenderfoots under the power amp and dac preamp soft fat dots under the turntable point feet and i changed to the way excellent ii mat from the stock felt mat.
Herbie s way excellent turntable mats have consistently proven superior to stock felt mats and clearly outperform stock rubber mats.
The mats are between 1 16 and 2 16 of an inch thick and 11 5 inches in diameter.
The intent of putting absorption under the power amp and dac pre is the size of the cases with sound pressure will vibrate the rack without absorption.

With virtually any kind of turntable a way excellent ii turntable mat is a safe bet to do better than any cork sorbothane shelf material or hard carbon graphite mat.
It s made from light spongy foam with a recessed donut in the middle for the label.
It sticks to the platter nicely and grips the record effectively without being tacky.
I have heard of another linn owner going back to his felt mat after a herbie s mat.
I had been using the music hall cork mat which is nice too both do a great job not sure of sound affect but i give a tiny edge to the herbies.
The herbie s way excellent ii 72 50 is a 3 7mm affair that fits the technics platter like a glove.
I am now using the herbies way excellent ii mat i do like it it has a good weight for a mat.
Selecting the right turntable mat is necessary to get the best operation.
The solid mat is medium thickness 2mm in my estimation and is quite stiff with excellent finishing on it s subtly pebbled surface and rounded edges.
The perforated mat features irregular cutouts shaped like circles ovals and is just over half as thick as the solid mat.
These mats are an excellent upgrade in case you are having static problems and dust and are seeking an improved sound experience.
