well the rubber mat creates a lot of friction so it would be much more difficult to queue the record. I'm guessing that you were stopping your platter from spinning every time you queued a record. You want it as slippery as possible so that the platter continues to spin no matter what you're doing with the record.

the degree of required slip really depends on how you handle your records and what sort of feel you desire.

i've played with plenty of slipmats that are far TOO slippy, enough that the record would float the mat instead of the mat driving the record.. tink the rekkid and it'd spin a whole revolution, etc.

a nice happy medium is best.

as far as the original topic... if MK2/M3Ds do this, then i've just got used to it.

and considering 98% of the decks you'd play on at a gig would then have this "problem", you might as well just learn to deal with it

Personal opinion: just use the 'felt' mats and the transparent sheets. Loose the rubber ASAP! (that didnt sound right).

i'm not sure if we are gonna be talking about the same thing ...but maybe ....


i did a mod on my 1200 m3d's which might be considered a quart defeat .....

this is what it does:

get your little circles on the platter to say 3.3 and have them hold steady

then lightly glide your finger accoss the cirlce to pull the platter back .... u will notice they go right back into place

with the mod when u lightly caress the platter back it shifts back...so if u were correcting it would just stay on beat then without having to jerk with the pitch again.....the platter also becaomes very sensitve and corrects with ease

if this sound like what your talking about respond and i will try to find the mod online

best thing that ever happened to my deck....i love it

Yeah, thats exactly the thing I'm talking about. I was wondering if it's an easy mod to do and dosn't affect the table's ability to hold the pitch.
