Watch for the submerged iceberg of noise – It's the Tidal Axis [£300] from Northern Ireland's Titanic Audio, a 5-layer energy-control turntable mat of 12" diameter. It combines a "high-density structural polymer, 3M constrained viscolastic and hexagonal dissipation profiles" and can be applied with either side up for a different mechanical tuning. As an add-on, Titanic recommend their Newton record clamp.
