I have to agree with Stringreen.
It is hard to just say, "that xxxx mat is a bad one"
It just did not gel with your particular setup at that time.
And that is about all you can say.
I have a cupboard full of different mats I have tried and I am still trying out from over the years.
Do I have a fave for my present Garrard 401?
Sure but does not mean I might not find something I like better or I change tonearm or cart and feel the need to experiment again.
Above all just have fun, enjoy the music and stay safe!
