ℹ Product Information

Are you ready to dance to a new beat with your record player? Time to say 'spin me right round' like never before with the Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat. This transformative product isn't just an accessory, it's a game changer, designed to offer superior sound tuning through the simple act of replacing your platter mat.

Turntable mats were never known for their chic appeal, they were instead a hotbed of discussion, always in the limelight for how dramatically they could influence sound reproduction. Well, consider the debate over. The Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat ushers in an era of unparalleled sonic clarity, all achieved by maximizing the synergy of record and surface interactions, scouted meticulously by your pick up cartridge, acting as the detective for your sound.

With traditional felt mats, you get a decent handling of contact between your record and platter. The disadvantage? Resilient static. These mats morph into dust bins, accumulating multiple layers of dust which could threaten your precious records. Moreover, their damping ability is severely limited which can cause havoc with metal platters.

Opt for thick rubber mats and you invite over-damping and an unwanted guest - hearable noise clicks resultant from static on the record. But the Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat rectifies these issues. It offers an intriguing melange of leather and cork to make significant strides in the sound quality department. Resonances are tamed more effectively than with felt, dust is treated like an outcast and there is sufficient contactivity to reduce static.

Your choice between leather or cork could be purely subjective or simply driven by your platter design. Regardless, one thing is certain - investing in the Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat is a cost-effective way to level up your listening experience and reduce unwanted static and dust noise. Trust us, your ears will appreciate the difference!

Product Features:

  • Innovative Design: The Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat presents a blend of cork and leather with its durable and stylish design that transforms not only the look of your turntable but also its performance.
  • Enhances Sound Quality: By replacing your old platter mat, the Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat improves sound tuning. It provides a more refined, distinct listening experience.
  • Reduced Static: Unlike traditional felt mats that accumulate static and dust, this record mat minimizes static effectively. No more worrying about hearable noise clicks due to static or dust on your records.
  • Effective Damping: The Cork-It mat's damping ability is superior to metal platters and thick rubber mats. It adapts to the platter design to avoid too much damping or isolation that can lead to sound distortion.
  • Dust Repellant: The inherent properties of cork and leather keep dust at bay, ensuring a cleaner, smoother operation and helping to prolong the lifespan of your records.

Product Benefits:

  • Elevate Your Listening Experience: The Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat drastically improves the sound quality of your vinyls, offering a more immersive, enhanced audio experience.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: This mat is a reasonably priced, effective solution to improve your sound and curb the issues of static and dust - an investment that pays off in quality.
  • Easy to Use: The record mat is user-friendly: just replace your old mat with the cork-it mat and enjoy improved sound.
  • Protect Your Records: The dust-repellent traits of the mat help to safeguard your records from dust damage, contributing to their upkeep and longevity.
  • Personalized Performance: The choice between leather or cork may depend on personal preference or your platter design. Either way, you can expect an improvement in sound quality and reduced static.

In the end, devotees of vinyl will find the Pro-Ject - Cork-It - Cork Record Mat a worthy addition to their turntable setup. Its ability to refine sound, reduce static and dust, and serve a visually appealing design makes it a stand-out accessory for any record player. The proof, as they say, is in the hearing!

I thought that cork would hold less electrostatic charge than felt, but it attracted just as much dust and stuck just as firmly to records.

Fit perfectly on my Project essential turntable with the advantage of less fibres sticking to the records then the felt material mats

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
