Whats the difference between felt and rubber? I have a rubber one on my 1980 technics ...thanks!
Felt is intended for DJ's that slide the record back and forth (if you can spin it on the felt, then you don't really need a record player designed to have it's motor manually forced backwards/forwards). Hence the term "Slip"mat Personally I bought it for decoration. I have no intention of trying to spin my records forwards/backwards on my record player. I would of bought a rubber one too.
Should I adjust my tone arm now that this slipmat is being used? The wax is now 1/4" or so higher up than it used to be, so I should, correct?
I don't think it's going to be a problem. Nothing different than playing a thicker 180g record vs. a 120g thinner one. I've never adjusted my tone arm when doing that.

My turntable came with a felt mat to sit the record on while playing it. There's nothing wrong with using felt.
Are you using it for decorative purposes or actually putting a record on it to spin? I have an acrylic platter too and I don't know why I even ordered the damn thing

Cool, thanks for the reply. I ended up doing it anyway, it had been a long time since I did it. Figured it couldn't hurt to get everything aligned again.

Decorative purposes - with an acrylic platter, no slip mat is needed. I switch between my QOTSA and PJ slip mats.
