During the past 20 years the quality of record players and vinyl records have improved dramatically. Acoustic feedback is one of the big problems when playing records. The cause is the sound that has just been produced by the speakers which comes back to the record player and cause it to vibrate. The problems is that there is a very slight time difference between the reproduced sound and the sound that is fed back onto the record player. This results in a big loss of detail and clarity and makes the sound “muddy”. So every effort has to be done to isolate the record player from its surroundings as well as to isolate the record from the record player.
In order to reduce acoustic feedback from the surroundings back to the record and the cartridge a lot of effort has gone into developing turntable mats that make the reproduced sound crystal clear with great separation and detail. This has been done by experimenting with various materials which absorb unwanted vibrations which were not present in the original recording. Now many people are trying to combine these different materials as a sandwich at the same time in order to reach better results. Now Tonar offers you this opportunity to experiment yourself but at modest pricing.
In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part.
• Diameter 295 mm.
• Thickness 3 mm.

Audio Origami – GTPuck Record Stabiliser
A Simple, Instant Upgrade For Turntables
A record stabiliser is essential to couple your records to your platter. Playing records without a stabiliser results in a thinner sound and a narrower presentation.
The GTPuck is the result of hundreds of hours of research and development with varying materials and weights. An o-ring spindle gripper holds the puck in the correct position, and the stabiliser is decoupled from the vinyl by a large base o-ring. The GTPuck is 270 grams and is machined from billet aluminium to be perfectly concentric.
The GTPuck helps your turntable get the most from your records.
Audio Origami – PuraMat Record Platter Mat
The Audio Origami PuraMat is an excellent and affordable upgrade to rubber and felt platter-mats found on entry to mid-level turntables.
If your turntable has a metal or glass platter or a rubber or felt platter mat, upgrading to a PuraMat will improve your mid-range, tighten up your bass and deliver a fuller, more focused sound.
It also helps decrease the amount of static electricity that transfers from your platter to your record.
