the only reason i might change my turntable mat is that the cork and rubber mat from turntable lab looks incredibly interesting and i think my problem with the VMP cork mats was that VMP have NO IDEA how to ship a cork mat without making it easy to bend into a warp

Glad you got it figured out; I was going to say that even setting them on a piece of plywood would be sufficient. Anything to get them off the carpet itself.

Can you get Graham Slee in Canada? The Era Gold and Reflex are worth a demo. Plus you can get them with mono buttons built in.My short list of phono stages under a grand:
I'm still considering the Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono preamp but I'm not going to hold my breath since Jason is unable to get a hold of the rep after several attempts.
