Question 1

Can this be used to replace an old rubber slipmat on a jvc jl-a1 - or ca it just be placed on top of it if i adjust my tonearm etc?

Accepted Answer

Either really, its a matter of what you think sounds better.  You would need to make sure you can adjust your tonearm's VTA sufficiently to accommodate the the extra thickness if you are going to use it on top of an existing mat.

Question 2

How supportive is this? Would it provide stability playing 12"vinyl on 9" turntable ?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so. The mat is pretty flexible and I doubt it's thick enough to provide any supporr beyond the edge of the 9 inch platter.

Question 3

Does this reduce static build up on the at-LP60?

Accepted Answer

Hi Kieran, I actually have an AT-LP 120, and buy it for reducing platter vibrations, but I also noticed some electrostatic reduction, specially when cleaning vinyls. Now dust stays on brush with no effort, and no more on vinyl. I think it's due to this kind and quality of materials that had been cleverly used. I hope Fonotek will also produce something for the back of platter, just like the one of Technics SL-1200. I hope I've been helpful.

Question 4

Plagued by static especially with 180g vinyl does this mat reduce static

Accepted Answer

No. I didn't keep mine for very long. Static was just as bad plus it smells a bit and gives off dust like tiny particles of cork and rubber. I splashed out on an acrylic platter and I love it. No static and it looks really good plus it's easy to clean the very little dust it does get.
