Remember the Ringmat? You should!


One of the most affordable and best upgrades to my Woodsong Gerrard 301 is the British made Ringmat!
Man, I had almost forgotten about mine. It was still on my old TT (Kuzma Stabi Stogi). It was a great improvement back then but I thought I didn’t need it on my new 301 since it already had the cool Puresound Tenuto gunmetal mat. That was $400. The Ringmat is under $100. But the difference in sound is huge!
everything just came into focus and it is punchy as hell. Why did I wait so long to check it out!

Ringmat is made of compressed paper. Obviously better damping than a steel mat! Sell that steel mat if you can!
I'm experimenting with a magnesium mat on my Ariston RD11 TT. That's a very dead-sounding metal! So far the results are very good! This TT uses two very thin rubber rings embedded in the alloy platter for minimal contact with the LP. I also use a record weight.
