I recently bought an acrylic mat as well and it made a heck of a difference compared to filt, more than I thought it would. Especially with good produced clean cut records like Jan Timmans 'trip into the body' and Kraftwerk-like stuff 👌

@VinylRescue 3 года назад

I have an acrylic mat on mine from another manufacturer and paid about $60 a few years back. I've found it to help in better sound and static control. I also use a Herbie Foam pad, which helps in dampening. I've got some Celtic Frost also.

@JeffMcCormack777 3 года назад

A couple months ago, I bought the Hudson acrylic myself, but got the white one. It really makes translucent colored vinyl pop. I keep my other rubber mat under it to increase in dampening. I'm not sure if I notice much sound difference, but the placebo affect says it is cool. :)

@spinsandneedles35 3 года назад

Really cool acrylic slip mat!! Love acrylic platters personally, and for someone who doesn’t have an acrylic platter this is absolutely genius. Thanks for showing!!

@BillsBoxOfSound 3 года назад

I got the acrylic mat on my Technics 1200 as well. When used in tandem with a record clamp, it makes things more stable and subtly settles surface noise as the needle isn't riding up and down. Highly recommended!

@johntknight 3 года назад

Hi Frank, I’ve been using the exact same Hudson acrylic mat for over 12 months. Makes zero improvement to the sound but then I really didn’t expect it to. However I think it looks good and I definitely get less static charge now. The only downside, the odd 45 can slip on the acrylic but my record weight solves that issue.

@arianrhod9588 3 года назад

@thomaslytle5519 3 года назад

Hi Frank. I got the same platter mat and while I agree there’s no “huge difference in sound”, the bottom end IS tighter, enabling me to play some of my bassier albums without turning down my bass. I had some records that would make my speakers pop and always had to turn the bass down by at least one level. But using this mat I no longer have to. Definitely a difference there!

@dixielandfarm 3 года назад

When people go on about major changes in changing the mat, I am always dubious... I like acrylic as well for dust and just looking cool. Very nice of Gil!

@astracax Год назад

Trying to decide on whether to get this Hudson Acrylic or a Project Cork mat. I've only ever used felt ones so feel it's time to upgrade to a better mat.

@3dimensionsofmusic3D 3 года назад

Hi Frank. Good to see your back in the saddle. The appropriation of the video monitor is a great idea. I'm sure your creativity will be on full display. I used to use a FunkFirm mat on my TT but have since put into a drawer, My albums are riding bareback on the stainless platter, since I use an outer ring and a center weight that is quite heavy. This couples the record snugly to the platter and the result is background that is super quiet. Cheers. Greg

@TD402dd 2 месяца назад

I have an English made acrylic platter that was carved to perfection. It is simply better than any other platter material. I also have Hudson acrylic mats on my Thorens metal platter. They both do their job well enough.

@cpta03 3 года назад

Good to see you back and I’m glad you enjoyed your month off. After watching your pre-vacation video on the Hudson acrylic mat, I bought the red (orange?) mat. I didn’t like seeing the Technics SL-1200 Mk2 metal platter, so I put the acrylic mat over a thin cork mat. There may have been a slight improvement in the bass, but it may have been psychological. But, the red mat looks great and well worth the 24 dollars!

@AndyP126 3 года назад

Had some of the 2015 Rush vinyl pressings that looked like they were warped when playing. I bought the Husdon HiFi mat and when I dropped the records on it. they were TOTALLY flat. So, the issue with them was the label, and the recessed center for the label fixed the problem. For that alone, they were worth it.

I was getting bored with the old rubber mat and just got my first acrylic white mat. It is for my SL1700 mk1 but do want a Hudson one for my 1210 mk2 once I get it fixed. I didn't expect any sound improvement but I do like the sound and it does keep the vinyl very flat and no static. The only thing I would have liked is for them to be just a little thicker. The new mat is lower than the rubber one.

Two years ago I moved from cork to a Hudson Edge-Lit acrylic. The improvement in clarity across the frequency range was very audiable on my Source/Odyssey/Art9 rig. Not to mention it doesn't doesn't cling to the record like a cork or felt mat. I would say though that you need to use a weight or clamp to get the best out of these very low friction mats.

@ericmayle8510 Год назад

I accidentally ordered the clear one when I meant to get the black. So I broke out the airbrush and black acrylic paint I use for model cars and painted the bottom side so I don't see the holes in the platter. It's defiantly better than the felt my turntable came with. Static is much better than felt, and the sound is better too.

Nice to see you back. The blue lighting gives a very cool atmosphere. I think you pronounce Celtic as though the first letter would sound like a K. I have their "Into the Pandemonium" album. A great album that has the Mexican Radio cover and another track that sounds like a Nightclub track. A really bizarre album as they wanted to do their own thing, be adventurous and go against the grain. It was highly rated in the press at the time and is a classic.

Hi Frank, Always rockin good time to watch your video. Interesting and interesting VCLT. Kids are cute. God bless and keep well, Tino

@StLouisRod1 3 года назад

The subtle audio differences mats make, including this one, are mainly with noise levels due to motor or belt rumble, platter vibrations, record dampening, etc. This can be seen quite easily when overlaying the spectrum analysis of material-free sections on records, such as inner groove, outer groove, track separators, or audio-free test tracks on Hi-Fi News, etc. Only then can you scientifically see differences. Whether you can actually hear differences in audio playback is a far more subjective task, and only discernable when A-B'ing the same track in a player (or in my case Audacity or Foobar), where you can line each track up perfectly and switch between them while listening.

@iLL-iNNeR-GrOoVe 2 года назад

Your pushing too hard. Should just graze the lp. Carbon fiber is static charged so dust sticks to it. Put pressure and you just jam dust in the groove. Clean lps. Dusting is minimal. Try a vacuum rcm some surfactant and rinse & some nice nylon record brushes. Avoid hard animal hairs. Pushing your charging the record as a result and it will never get clean clinging to dust. Your chasing your tail at that point. Non ionic cleaner equals static reduction

Thank you Robert. I have been doing some poking around, and I believe the 1210 was not domestically available in North America (From what I read, Technics chose to keep the 1200 label on the black model in the USA and Canada, at least for a period of time). I could be wrong. If you know any more, please let me know (I am going to do a vid later this year -- just need to do all the research first). I do not have any Brave Belt, but I do have some BTO!

Question on the acrylic mat. I'm always afraid that the vinyl could "slip" a little while spinning & if that happened if it would scuff the vinyl. Do you use it with a weight with it?

This acrylic does change the sound thats true but you change more then the influence of this platter. thickness of the acrylic is different then the thickness of your old mat So what happens is the arm raises or lowers in height this is also called VTA this influence changes more to the sound then the acrylic itself. So you myte change more then you want.

@garrypeak4277 3 года назад

There he is......welcome back! Do different platters make a difference? It’s one aspect I’ve never explored. I’ve got an AT LP120,...removed the pre-amp, and running it through a Pro-ject Tube Box S pre-amp...and just went crazy and bought a 2M Bronze and stuck it on....holy crap sounds good....but I just have the original mat that came with it....anything to be gained by getting a new/different one? Frank, you’ve made me jealous all over again...only just recovered from when you posted that H2 soundtrack on insta lol. Nice cover as well....I’ve seen one close to that, on one of the European Laserdiscs from the late 1980s. The original 1978 movie is my fave, but the sequel is a close 2nd. I think Carpenter felt the pressure to have some gore in H2, in the wake of the rise of the slasher genre, in those 3 years since the original Halloween. Speaking of which, the new Friday Blu Ray set dropping in October looks incredible. 4K scans of the early classics, bunches of new additions across the set, including the long lost gore effects cut from Friday 2! Ok....that’s my novel for the week....cheers!

Channel 33 RPM It’s not cheap mate. The bronze cost me $620 AU, so I’m not sure what it’s goes for CA up there. But I feel like it gave me a bigger jump, than I got going from the red to the blue.

The deer skin mat also brought up the lower end, but it always stuck to the lp when i lifted it from the platter.. really annoying. the Hudson HiFi rubber mat was what gave me both - better low end and reduced static (but doesn't eliminate it). I chose the Hudson because other rubber mats were ridiculously expensive, and like the acrylic one Frank mentioned, very reasonably priced (I've never tried the acrylic one).

Acrylic platters can be great, but you need a very good cartridge to get the best out of the mat. I use an English Logic Gemini twin motor (long defukt) TT with a full acrylic platter that they recommend to use no mat on. I find it sounds very good so the Hudson mat should sound good. But the best mat i have used and still use on my Logic Was made in Canada, its an EON TriMat, has a squishy rubber on bottom to bond ith the platter, a thin acrylic centre and cork under the record with the squishy rubber under the label. It is hard to get because EON went out of business, but another company in Toronto started making a clone of the original which is nearly as good. if you can track either one down grab it, it will make all of your TTs sound better. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.....enjoy the music

Sorry, i had too much scotch and Jacks (whiskeys), meant DEFUNKT (not the other word), as in Logic Audio do not exist anymore, which is sad as they built one of the best turntables in their time, late 80's into 90's. The Gemini is still equal to or better than anything under $20k.

All good. Those mats sound cool.

@@Channel33RPM bought at a sports store in Melbourne, Australia that was run by a music/audio nut who thought that music and sneakers had a connection - who knows maybe he was right -, in the 90's, it is the best mat i have used, tried many, if you one there in Canada, grab it....again sorry for what could have been considered a sear word, did not proof read. that's what great whiskey does to one.......enjoy the music, listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd right now,

9:50 Not only was Michael Myers wearing a mask in the 'Halloween' movies (except 'Halloween III' of course since he had nothing to do with that story), but the mask had apparently been adapted from one made of Captain Kirk himself, our very own Canuck to the Stars, William Shatner, so there's some Canadian content for the 'Halloween' series. :)
