Testimonials

“I was very skeptical about the claims that a cork mat for my turntable would improve sound quality. It sounded like some sort of snake oil pitch. I was wrong. The simple addition of a beautifully made cork mat by Andrew, not only improved the sound quality, it looks incredible on my vintage hifi system! The reduction in static, increase in bass, and mitigation of motor/belt sound traveling to the stylus is amazing. I cannot recommend this enough to my fellow music/stereo enthusiasts.”

"It's really, really beautiful. It's got a nice texture to it... And cork record mats as we know improve the bass response of your vinyl. That is not a myth! It looks really nice... Really beautiful!"

"Hey Andrew! The mat is working out great, I love it! Really helps the highs sound so crisp and the lows sound so full. I’m planing on buying another one soon. I’m on the lookout for another turntable, maybe a vintage dual and I’ll need another mat from you as icing on the cake. Thanks again!"

"The only drawback of the handmade slipmats by Andrew (@fullforcehifi) is that now I really like to see my turntable without any records."

"El único inconveniente de los slipmats hechos a mano por Andrew (@fullforcehifi) es que ahora me gusta mucho ver mi tornamesa sin discos."

"Such a great addition to our setup. It really elevates everything. Sound, look, and vibe."

Thank you so much, @vinylrewind for taking the time to check out my mats on your channel! Got to Vinyl Rewind's channel and see his review of my mats as well as many other amazing vinyl videos! These guys deserve way more subscribers than they have. . Spoiler: my mats got 5 pompodours our of 5! 😎 . Seriously this is so surreal. I am really honored, not just for this, but for everyone who's said so many nice things about my mats over the year! Thank you all so much 😁
Spinning up my favorite Eno album that isn't one of his Ambient albums! Honestly this pressing sounds dull... Perhaps it's a bootleg?
Rainy days staying inside and listening to Neil Young 🌧️🌧️🌧️☔
Picked up a copy of my grandfathers 45 single of Promise her anything / For Us There'll Be No Tomorrow. Has a different sound from the other 45 I've heard, but there's no recording of these songs anywhere on the internet so I'll make sure I can upload it soon! See my previous post about my grandfather for context.
One of my customers pretty cool set up, rocking one of my 1/4th inch thick mats!

"Just I when thought my turntable set up couldn't look any better... Boom! Got this awesome White Marbled Cork slip mat from Full Force Hi-Fi" -@vinyl_penguin Thanks so much for sharing your new mat on your Audio Technica LP-120! Looks great!

I found Charles Bradley fairly recently and instantly fell in love. Changes is one of the best covers I've ever heard! We definitely lost a very talented musician. Rest in Peace, Charles Bradley. #charlesbradley #blacksabbath #recordstore #fullforcehifi #audiophile #music #audio #vinyl #hifi #rpm #speakers #vinylcollection #records #vinyljunkie #turntable #amplifier #nowspinning #vinyladdict #instavinyl #recordcollection #vinylgram #vinyloftheday #recordcollector #lp #stereo #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcommunity #audioporn #vinylcollector #vinylrecords

Just got back from seeing my favorite record shop owner, at my favorite record shop @portofsoundrecords. Picked up a couple good things I'll post about later! Anyone else get any good pick ups this week?
I was visiting with my grandfather last night and it turns out one of his bands when he was younger (the Johnny Thompson Quintet) is way bigger than he thought. I was at this house because he isn’t doing too well right now. He went into a 9 day long coma due to a serious infection, and when he woke up his heart rate was half what it should be and the doctors said he didn’t have much time. That was a few weeks ago. He’s so far making a really great recovery, and his heart is getting better and he’s able to walk around now. Anyway, I always knew he was a musician and music teacher, but he’s had a really negative view on it as long as I’ve known him. He’d say things like “no one ever liked anything I made.” or “Nothing ever came of it”. Well, while I was in his house for the first time in years, I noticed he had some records in a shadow box on the wall. I asked him about it and got the same answers as usual: “Oh it’s nothing. Just some band I was in when I was younger. No one really listened to it. I think we got it on a british commercial and we got like $8 of royalties.” I decided to dig a little deeper on my phone and look up “Johnny Thompson Quintet” and found they actually have a small following! I showed him a blog post about the band, mentioning his name and all and he was completely blown away and remarked that people online knew more about his music than even he did! 45’s of his songs are going for $20+ on Discogs, and uploads of his songs on youtube has thousands of views, you can even buy one of his songs on Amazon music. He was in complete disbelief. He even had to call my grandmother who was busy working in the other room in to brag to her about it. After reading more about them on Garage Hangover and talking with Reddit user u/mindlesspleasures, I learned they were actually incredibly ahead of their time and influencial. Love’s song “7 and 7 Is” is considered to be the first punk song, and came out just a few months before my grandfather’s song “Color Me Columbus” which is a similar psychedelic garage rock style. Turns out he was more influencial than he ever thought! Glad I was able to share this with him 😁
Modest Mouse is probably the first band I went all in on. Friends and I used to watch all their music videos, interviews with Isaac, etc. Honestly, say what you will about Sad Sappy Sucker, but it's the album that got me into the charm of LoFi music! What's your favorite lofi album?

About Me

Hello! My name is Andrew...

I am passionate about the importance of a great audio experience. My goal with Full Force Hi-Fi is to transform your listening space into something special. 

From those one-of-a-kind 70's receivers to the Record Store Day posters hung on our walls, each of our music rooms tells its own story. Why shouldn't your record mat play a part in that story?

Full Force Hi-Fi is home to a collection of hand-made slip mats that sit on your record platter to add style to your turntable. Every mat is hand-cut from natural cork which means that no single pattern is alike. Your record player will pop with one of my mats, even when your colored vinyl is in it's sleeve.

Hope you enjoy!
