Replacement Linn LP12 mat
Hi Jones,The felt mat is a regular PITA on the LP12.Major disadvantage is static. It invariably charges your LPs like the very Devil then it attaches itself to LP like a limpet so when you pick it up the felt mat comes too. Annoyingly it sometimes...

SAT Comparison

“Sharp Objects” Tonearm/ Cartridge
Indeed...I think his daughter has given it more of a blast than he has. ;) :)I’m rapidly losing the will to live with this one. It’s one of those shows that you wish you hadn’t started watching but only the hi-fi element is holding interest.... :D
