I have experience using both mats listed in your inquiry on three turntables: Oracle Delphi Mk II, Goldmund Studio, and Verdier La Platine. I found the Boston Audio mat to be superior in practically all respects. (As a caveat, I am not a particular fan of the Audioquest Sorbogel mat). Moreover, I found the biggest difference in quality of reproduction to be when they were used with the Verdier, followed by the Oracle, and then the Goldmund. Are there are any particular characteristics you wish discussed?
