Any experience with Copper Mat on Raven One

Hi Musiclovers!
Considering big brother AC having copper layer in its platter I´m curios how it would sound on a Raven.
I know it`s not a fair comparison with just a copper mat on top because AC platter has more of other material than copper/delrin.
Obviously there are more technical calculations and know- how brought into producing. But still, could sound improve?
I should direct this question to Thomas Wosnick himself, maybe they have tested already or even used same type of AC platter (obviously modified to suit) on Raven.
Hmmmm....

Not that this has anything to do the Raven, but I just got a TTW solid copper platter mat, and I'm liking what it does for my modified Scout Signature. An extra four pounds of copper helps add inertia and mass, for greater speed stability. The lp/copper mat interface brings greater clarity and better bass. When bought on auction at $139, it's a fairly inexpensive tweak, and I think, a very effective one.

Regards to all,

One other thing the copper mat makes possible is to fasten a ground wire from the bottom of the bearing assembly to ground on phono pre. Used Mapleshade Silclear on spindle to enhance connection between it and copper mat. Can't say it made much difference, but it's doable, so I did it. Just food for thought.

Enjoy,
Dan
