Personally I wouldn't use a nail file.

Yep you can turn the rubber rings but the best bet is to get a spare and swap them over evry now and then.

Also meant to say that you should have posted this in the Hi Fi forum where I am certain you will get more answers.

I've also cured the problem on a number of occasions by inserting the end of a paper clip into each ring (careful with this!) and very gently easing it back out to its normal shape.

Why didn't I .... http://forums.naim-audio.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3452929996/m/1042933007 ?

Yes Ewemon thanks for that.....
I posted when I was listening to some fantastic vinyl on the LP12 wasn't concentrating on which forum I was posting in ...OH WELL !
When I said rough up I mean't dont take an angle grinder approach very gentle and carefully is the key ... I have tried all the other methods mentioned for puck slippage on the forum and this one works as well as using any of the others methods !
