My Stack Audio record mat came. I've now compared it to the Oyaide, using the Stabiliser with both. The Serene Surface Mat is 3mm silicone, with 4 small nibs spaced on the record support surface. There's a nickel-sized circular cutout on the underside of the mat below each nib. Why this does anything is beyond me, but this is a no contest deal. Wha's better? Seemingly everything: bass, table, details, depth and width of soundstage. I think I'm hearing harmonics that weren't there before. The Oyaide is a very good mat (rubber with infused tungsten, 5mm) but there was no need to belabor the deal. The Stack mat/Stabiliser combo is just clearly better. Definitely worth a try.
Anyone familiar with Stack Audio Stabiliser and / or their turntable mat?
I've been intrigued by recent reviews that praise the Stack Audio Stabiliser and their Turntable mat. If you've purchased either or both of these, I'm wondering if you concur with the favorbable reviews or not. My turntable is a Technics SL1210G that came with the typical rubber mat, but I'm wondering if investing in these products is worth it given the excellent performance of this turntable.
