New Synergistic Research Record Mat

I have the HRS record weight and saw the new SR weight at kind of a silly price ($895) but read the reviews for a while as well as emailed a few guys who upgraded from the HRS to the SR and felt the improvement in sound quality would be worth the investment.  My wonderful wife ordered it for me and its under the tree - along with the mat which was free in a current promotional.  I have a JR Transrotor Rodino table and currently use no mat.  I will let everyone know what I think of he mat when I have it for a little bit.  Merry Christmas!

I am liking the Synergisitic mat.  Still listening but there is more information being extracted form those grooves, or so it seems.  Still listening...  I have only been using it with their weight (replacing my HR Heavy) and there is an improvement.  

It wasn't an improvement after all.  After completing my hours listening (tonearm was adjusted for height of mat) it took some tone out of the woodwinds on classical passages.  Not as quiet as my table without mat and current weight.  Its going back (with the weight - breaks my heart but what I have just sounds better).
