Avid Diva sonic signature - is it a "bright" table


Hi analog experts:

I am trying at home an Avid Diva table (great quality, finish and POO) thanks to the very kind service of the local dealer, and thinking of buying it (please check my system).

I am using a borrowed Clearaudio Aurum-Beta cart (MM) and have found great sonic atributes with this analog front end(coherence, timing, resolution, transparency)... but, I have found that this combo leans toward a light and/or alive presentation, quite forward and lacking some midbass response.

Could this be a Clearaudio continution to the chain? (I have heard that Clearaudio is a quite "alive" cartridge)?

Should I try a platter mat?

I am not a vinyl expert, but enjoy listening to music a lot, please advice...

I tried the Grado an the system now sounds very boring!

I came out with the conclusion that this is a dynamic and vivid table, so the Clearaudio option is the best bet for this one.
no,it is heavely used.

I am tryingnow a Grado Reference Platinum and soundsa bit warmer.
