I've been watching videos on YouTube by a chap called Kelvin, from London, who reviews vintage gear, although sometimes newer stuff as well; his channel is called Stereo review x. Great channel btw!
Anyway, he suggested taking a broadsheet newspaper - one that's still in good, flat condition - and cutting out 6-8 sheets in the shape and size of a record and then using those sheets as a turntable mat.
I haven't got a broadsheet newspaper myself so I haven't tried it yet. But I would love to hear whether it works so if any of you guys have a broadsheet newspaper at hand and a turntable, please do give it go and let us know in what way it changed the sound and whether it was for the better.
This might be an old tweak from back in the day, I don't know. I've never heard of it before at any rate so I'm intrigued, to say the least.
