Brian at Needle Doctor reviews the Simple Mat
I love this mat! The sonic virtues are apparent immediately - bass tightens up, vocals come forward, and more air is put around the instruments. Apart from the musical improvements, there are a multitude of other benefits. Firstly, it's far less prone to stick to the vinyl than stock felt mats. Second, and this must come from the rubber/cork hybrid construction, I find that it grips the vinyl much more easily than other mats. This results in speed stability that's easy to hear. I can't recommend it enough!
