Pro-Ject PJ07682410 CORK IT, turntable mats have been always a big discussion how they influence the sound. The interaction between the record and the surface can track 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 transfer to the record. Also the damping ability is very limiting which can be a problem with metal platters. Thick rubber mats 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 absorb more effectively than felt, 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 also have less noise by static and dust. You can hear a difference with the Pro-Ject PJ07682410 CORK IT!
