Project Acryl-it Platter

Hi, P. Yes, the Herbie's mat does cut down on the static problem. Doesn't eliminate it completely, but it made a big difference for me.

Which Herbie's Turntable Mat is appropriate for or has been used by members on the Pro-Ject Debut III? There are quite a bit of options out there. How does one tell which Herbie's TT mat will work with a Debut III and the stock platter it comes with?

Hi, Jedinite24; the mat that is recommended by Herbie for Pro-Ject turntables, and the one I use with my mmf-2.1 turntable, is the standard Way Excellent II-2mm mat. There's a 280mm diameter mat for the smaller platter found on the Debut III.

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Tom for the assist.

I've bookmarked the page now. $60 isn't bad relative to the cost of the Acryl-It platter. I'm going to try some shelf liner or a rubber mat along with the stock felt mat on the Pro-Ject Debut III before buying the Herbie's Way Excellent Mat. I have some of the stuff laying around the house and I may give those a shot. I was thinking about cork platters for plants from Home Depot as well but I think they may be too thick for the Debut III.

If this can help you decide, I have the RPM10 which ofcourse has an acrylic platter. Still, Herbies mat offered noticeable improvement. On the other hand, I disliked the Boston Audio graphite mat which I thought thinned the sound.
