Platter mats
When tracking disc modulations, a stylus induces a constant stream of vibrations into the disc. If these are allowed to set the disc itself into resonant vibration, they will cause sonic colorations and pronounced smearing of details, so the name of the game is to dissipate them as rapidly as possible. This is done in two ways: by clamping the disc as tightly as possible to the platter so it both vibrates as little as possible and when it does vibrate, the vibrations are efficiently coupled into the platter; and by absorbing the sound waves that the vibrations radiate toward the platter surface. A suitable platter mat may help to do both.
Nothing can equal a good vacuum holddown system for suppressing disc vibrations, so a vacuum system should never be augmented with an add-on mat. But in the absence of that, your choice of a platter mat can have a significant effect on the sound.
A platter mat will tend to sound the way it feels to the touch. A relatively hard, stiff material will reflect a lot of energy back to the disc, making the sound crisp and detailed or, if you don't like it, hard and analytical. A soft, rubbery mat will make the sound richer and warmer - that is, "more musical" if you like what it does, or "less lively" if you don't.
But do pay attention to VTA when you change mats. Different mats have different thicknesses, so changing them will change VTA. Obviously, the opposite is not the case; changing VTA will not affect the sound of a mat.

...i en nylig kabeltråd her på forumet var det en som foreslo at man kunne bruke ulike kabler til ulike typer musikk, hvorpå en annen spøkefult fulgte opp med noe sånt som at man vel kan bruke ulike kabler til ulike plater, hvor produsentene i fremtiden skriver på coveret hvilke kabler platen låter best med. Det samme kan vel man si om matter, utvalget tatt i betraktning...(og det er sikkert mange jeg ikke har fått med meg utover de jeg listet her).
Edit: Så var det noen som anbefalte "ANGSTROM High-End Turntable Antistatic Damping Mat", men den fant jeg ikke noen link til når jeg skulle sjekke denne just nu...og nå tar jeg kveld...
