Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences


Anyone try it? Is it still available. Is it worth it? Is there anything better. How about a Vacuum Mat?

The Mystic Mat is NOT the same as the german Carbon Mat - which I saw in a German store. The Mystic Mat definitely does not soften dynamics - just the opposite. There is another new review of the Mystic Mat by Edward Barker on sixmoons.com, I think, his observations are comparable to mine
I use it together with Rudolf Bruil´s Outer Record Ring and a record weight on my Scheu Premier (Eurolab in the US), and was flabbergasted by the improvement: better defined bass and voices, better soundstaging. The improvement was greater, in fact, than upgrading from my 1500-Euro-Ortofon Venice to a 2500-Euro-Ortofon Vienna. I can not recommend it highly enough. I followed the opinion of both Michael Fremer and JR of soundscapehifi.com, who both wrote, or told me, that it was the best mat they ever tried. I cannot comment on that, as I did not try any others, but on my player, the Mystic Mat works wonders.
