Harmonics TU-800 EX Turntable mat.

I am thinking of purchasing a Harmonics TT mat. It's only 1mm
thick but costly at $315 a piece. Michael Fremer likes it, he said it improves the liveliness of acrylic platters which he thinks sound soft in the base and congested overall. I'd very much like to hear your opinion if you are using this mat.

I'd also like to ask Fremer and all the TT manufacturers why has no one come up with an all vinyl platter of the same formula they use to press records? That would be the ideal impedance match.

Hi all

I have the Boston Mat1 that is in use on top of my Kuzma Stabi Reference. I must say that I agree with Genesis168's analysis.

The music came out very quiet, the harshness was gone. Not sure about the loss of details in my set-up, but for sure the carbon graphite material made my sound, a little "dry". Not lean, but not "wet" either.

I am now asking my local dealer whether he has a TU800EXi (improved) for a shoot-up with my Mat1. Though, some of you already decided to get or already had the Harmonix mat, I will still report back to you guys

Cheers ... Peter
