I know dancegrooves had some magik muzik slipmats, that's where I got mine, but it appears that they don't have them anymore. I guess you could keep checking to see if they restock them or look elsewhere but that's about the only place I could find them.

stupid question offtopic but about slipmats:

lets say you were thinking about buying a turntable.. and lets say it would be a numark tt200.. would you think it'd come with a slipmat.. or would you buy one as well to be sure?

I dunno on the 200. My tt500 and ttx came with slipmats but I bought replacements for them regardless.

Hey-- I'm new to this whole thing and thats why I asked- Are slipmats normally perfectly flat? The reason why I was gonna buy some is becasue my stanton ones that I got make the tonearm raise up and down because they are not "true" or completely flat. It seems as if the edges are tapered.

I've got them and they come with DJ slipmats, but (though I haven't done so yet - I'm lazy) it's a good idea to get other ones that are even thinner and look nicer as well.

um, they should be flat. make sure your vinyl isnt warped.

does anyone know of a place that makes custom slipmats? where you can get your own logo or design printed on a mat?

Posted by broken silence on May-23-2004 23:03:

Let us know how they work out... Curious as to wether the "new technology" actually does anything.

If you don't wanna order like 250 slipmats at a time from sicmats.com then you could go to djmart.com because they carry the full line of sicmats there.
