Description: PLEASE READ SELLERS FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS BUYERS FOR THIS ITEM AND DON'T BE FOOLED BY CHEAP STYROFOAM COPIES BEING LISTED: You are purchasing the Garrard Foam replacement (MADE OF RUBBER) to be used between the Type A, A-II, or A-70, Inner and Heavy Outer Platters. Install it under the outer platter ring, and then install the black platter mat to make sure they both fit under the inner platter retaining ring, if it does not fit correctly, cut the hole slightly larger. Please remember to make sure the you still line up your balance arrows on both platters. THE FOLLOWING QUOTE IS FROM, SOUND-SOURCES, THANK YOU, SOUND-SOURCES, FOR THE INFORMATION! Here's the lowdown on the foam disc separating the inner and outer platter. I was a young audiophile still in high-school when this unit appeared on the market in the fall of 1960, about two years after the introduction of stereo records. All the turntable manufacturers discovered, very quickly, that everything on the market, including the most expensive manual players by Rek-O-Kut, were far too noisy (had too much low-frequency rumble) for satisfactory results, and caused huge feedback problems for millions of new stereo owners, simply because everything on the market had been designed decades earlier for use with mono cartridges. The Type A is a modified version of the old RC 88. The heavy outer platter was added to help dampen the vibration of the inner platter caused by the transmission of motor noise to the platter by the idler wheel and lower the rumble. The foam helps this out a bit by acoustically decoupling, to a degree, the outer platter from the inner one. If you have a Type A, A II, or A-70 without the foam mat you will notice a difference once you install one of these Garrard has designed and installed these during original manufacturing for a specific reason, if you don't have it...you need it.
