Funk Firm Achromat 5mm Black Turntable Mat This was my mat of choice when I previously owned a Technics 1200. If you're using something like a rubber, cork or felt mat, the Funk Firm Achromat will offer better clarity from your records. And yes, the difference will be noticeable! The condition of this mat is very good, the only noticeable sign of wear is the gold lettering has faded a bit. It's a very durable design. Condition: Used but good Payment Method: PayPal (Family & Friends), EFT, Cash on pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Jaykobe 0 Comments AUD $120 Date: May 7
This is a fair ask rather than a bargain: A$120 sits below the A$165 median and just above the A$116 25th percentile for recent comparable AUD listings, so it’s priced in the lower half of the market without quite reaching clear-deal territory. Given that spread, it looks sensible if you want one now, but not so cheap that you should rush blindly.
The upside is that this is the kind of well-regarded accessory that can make a real difference in setup refinement, with a known following for damping and interface control on a turntable. In very good condition, it’s the sort of clean buy that should be straightforward to enjoy immediately, especially if it’s the thickness you need and there are no fitment surprises.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Funk Firm is a British analogue-audio brand founded in 1990 by Arthur Khoubesserian, a designer best known for his earlier work with Pink Triangle. Based in the UK, it emerged from the turntable tradition but has built its identity around engineering-led vinyl replay rather than broader hi-fi electronics.
The company is primarily known for turntables, tonearms, cartridges, and a range of upgrade accessories for record decks. Its catalogue also includes isolation devices, mats, platters, and other accessories aimed at improving vinyl performance, reflecting a strong focus on mechanical design and resonance control. It is not a maker of amplifiers, speakers, DACs, or headphones.
In the market, The Funk Firm sits firmly in the specialist, niche-boutique end of hi-fi. It has a reputation among vinyl enthusiasts for inventive, sometimes unconventional engineering and for offering serious performance without chasing mass-market scale. That makes it a respected name for knowledgeable analogue buyers, especially those looking for turntable design with a distinctive technical viewpoint.
