Pro-Ject PJ07689457 LEATHER IT Upgrade Replacement Mat - Black
The Pro-Ject PJ07689457 LEATHER IT upgrade replacement mat. Turntable mats have been always a big discussion how they influence the sound. The interaction between the record and the surface can be tracked very easily by the super sensitivity of a good pick up cartridge. Common felt mats give a smooth contact between record and platter but has the disadvantage with static. That means that felt mats often collect a lot of dust which can be then transferred to the record.
Also the damping ability is very limited which can be a problem with metal platters. Thick rubbermats overdamp the record and have an isolation effect which leaves the static on the record and hearable noise clicks are the result. Leather and Cork are 2 different but very interesting options to upgrade the sound quality. Resonances are damped more effectively than felt with the Pro-Ject PJ07689457 LEATHER IT. They keep dust away and they have also enough contactivity to avoid static. What is better depends on taste and the actual platter design. A very cost-effective way to improve the sound and have less noise by static and dust. You can hear a difference!

The Beginning
Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices especially with the Pro-Ject PJ07689457 LEATHER IT. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.
