All,
I just received one of the Deer hide mats from Jake's Mats on Amazon yesterday. I removed the rubber mat from my Lenco and put on the new deer hide. It sounds nicer than the OEM, with a nice addition to the lower registers.
But while the OEM mat kept static to a minimum, this new deer hide mat creates so much static it is lifting off of the platter and sticking to the record when I take a disc off!
What the heck is going on? Could it have something to do with the zinc that the Lenco platters are made of? Or do I need to somehow adhere the mat to the platter?
