I am a big fan of the plain copper platter over most mats. I do prefer the Living Voice mystic mat over all other mats I have tried including the Boston Mat & Millenium but based on further listening tests, different mats can be used to "fine tune" different LPs/recordings. On a different note, you can use the RSR outer ring w. the TW. It does make a substantial improvement, but I never use mine. It interferes w. the Phantom and you need to move the Phantom out of the way to use it. I think the 9.5 inch Phantom would solve that.
