Mat Material...............


What have you found to be the most effective mat on your TT? I was surprised noone answered my query on carbon fiber mats. Carbon fiber? Construction paper? Felt? Uranium? Titanium? Nothing?

Some of these mats can get pricy. $200 for a carbon fiber from (I don't remember).

My isolation is quite good. I'm using a Nottingham Interspace table with Dynavector Karat cartridge, Bright Star Audio Rack of Gibralter, and a homemade sandbox similar to a Big Rock.

Do you think a Mystic Mat (I hear it's recommended by Nottingham) could be a good choice? It's a carbon fiber make-up.
So, TWL, do you think a Notttingham Interspace is low end enough to benefit from a mat? I probably think so. Do you think tweaking vibration compromises the use of a mat? I recognize it's a "check it and find out situation." I'm just trying to avoid a needless expense if it does nothing or worse.

By the way, do you think replacing a fiberboard plinth with maple is worth the effort?
Uh oh. Another opened can of worms.

TWL, and others, thanks.

By the way, anyone hear the AVID Volvare. My retailer loves it. But with an arm and cart it would be minimum $5500 new. Would it really better a Nottingham Interspace with a Dynavector Karat? Its almost 3k more.
