Cork it
The Cork it is a turntable platter mat made from cork, designed to fit all Pro-Ject turntables with a 12" platter.

The use of cork gives the mat special sonic qualities, which make it well suited to certain turntable-cartridge combinations, and also different room-types. Another benefit from cork is that it slips less in use than more common felt mats. The result is a tighter audio performance, with greater timing.

Tech Radar Cork-IT Review

"In just about every situation where we tried the Cork Mat, it rewarded us with some very impressive bass. Low-frequency instruments seem to gain an extra couple of semitones of clearly audible range, while percussion and special effects have more impact."

There are many materials that can help improve your sound, from heavyweight glass platters, to acrylic, to vinyl topped however, one simple upgrade you can make is to switch out the felt mat (that comes as standard on many turntables) with a cork one. This easy change offers a dampened surface from which to play your record, resulting in a tighter and more accurate reproduction, as well as the additional benefit of reduced static which will massively improve your listening experience.
