Do I have to adjust tracking force after putting this mat in place?

Ajustements are not needed; since this mat does not affect the centrifugal force, it just creates uniform circular motion.

Not if you're replacing a standard felt mat like on rega/music hall/pro-ject. It is the same thickness as those thin felt mats. If you're replacing an old school rubber mat, then yes you should probably adjust the VTA as those would be much thicker than this cork mat.

The cork mat is practically the same thickness as the standard felt mat on most 'tables, so you'll be fine replacing felt with cork.

I didn't have to. I don't know what kind of turntable you have but I had the entry level Music Hall turntable and it was fine. The mat is not that thick. I hope this helps you.

No! However, depending on the thickness of the mat you are replacing it with , there may be a need for the adjustment of VTA (vertical tracking angle). But, unless you are using a fine line stylus (Shibata, gyger, or Micro-ridge), it is insignificant

Yes. Weight really shouldn't matter because the mat is activated when something makes contact with the wires that are embedded in the mat.

No, although slipping isn't that much of a problem. It's on a tile floor, so I put felt strips on the feet to cushion it.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

Yes, it states in materials you receive with scale that when you move it around it may have to recalibrate. However this is automatic and you do not need to do anything special.

I have repositioned the mat several times, including changing vehicles, and so far I've not had any problems.

The mat is going to be snug and not look like it will fit at first because it hasn't been stretched. Did you get the tool to get hooks on the frame? This will help you get the mat on. Not gonna lie, it takes some force and muscle but it will fit. Hope this helps!

I haven't had that problem. The mats are placed in between grooves that hold it in place as you are using them.

Yes it will leave marks but unless move things around a lot it doesn't matter. I don't shift the mat so if there are marks it still is hidden

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

no,never happened but you might want to reposition where your sensor is.Remember reading that your problem might happen if it's too close to certain objects.

It can move a little. But it is pretty heavy. I have two of these matts, and one moved a little, but it was easy to move back. There is no adhesive. You could put an adhesive under it, if you wanted to.

This mat won't help your situation. This mat is pretty nice though. When I 1st got mine I thought I was ripped off because its so thin. After using it however, I found that I didn't have any static problem and it supports the records perfectly. It can still slip if you push down hard on a cleaning pad, but you shouldn't do that anyway. The bottom line is yes, I like the pad but it can't stop feedback from transmitted vibration. Nothing besides a 1,000 LB block of concrete to set your turntable on can, I know because I have the same problem.

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

No, its hard plastic so it slides all over, I had an old yoga mat and I cut a strip of it and put under the mat and now it stays in place

Hi Cynthia, the answer to your question is "No". I have the mats that came with the car still underneath, but there is minimal sliding. So from time to time, I readjust all 4 mats.

No. The mat does not slip on our hard floors. It stays put unless we move it.
