I have been using the Dereneville mat since last July. I had tried a couple other mats. The Dereneville mat rendered better bass with better mid bass definition and placement. Every instrument and voice, in fact, became clearer and more precisely placed in 3D space.
I liked the turntable mat enough that I ordered Dereneville’s headshell mats which are sold in pairs, in August. The headshell mats are made of the same material as the turntable mat. I placed one mat between cartridge and headshell and the other one on top of the headshell to isolate the mounting hardware.
The results were amazing. I have been digitizing a library of 60’s - 70’s jazz records. Every LP I digitized with the headshell mats has a lower noise floor on the order of 3 - 4 dB. In listening tests the soundstage widened dramatically, and the clarity and spatial placement accuracy are further improved. I was quite surprised at the improvements the little headshell mats made.
