Glad you like it, my Micro CU-500 on SP-10mk2 was significant upgrade in sound quality, sadly the CU-500 is so hard to find and twice as much in price than CU-180. But those copper mats not only sound so good, but also looks so attractive on Technics platter like no other mat on the market.
SP-10 Mat
I have an SP-10 with a Micro-Seiki copper mat. Now that my system is dialed in in terms of room acoustic treatments and speaker placement I find the Micro-Seiki mat to be a bit too lively but outstanding in terms of dynamics and soundstage. The stock rubber mat is too dull and bloated.
Could someone suggest a mat that falls in between the two, leaning more towards the copper mat sound than stock but less forward in the midrange and treble.

Yes, the rubber mat must be avoided (imo), Micro CU-180 and CU-500 are great for Technics DDs. @downunder chakster. I just noticed you placed the mat upside down, mate Why? |
@downunder hmm, i never tried the upsidedown placement, i think this is correct placement, but CU-500 is much thicker. Yeah, to remove the mat you might need to flip the whole turntable :)) |
