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...

Try asking the same question on www.pinkfishmedia.net

There are several there with experience of Avid tables, and a broad range of cartridges. They will probably be able to advise you. Most guys there hate clinical, thin sounding music, so you should get some good recommendations.
