Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series


I have the original anniversary edition Technics 1200 GAE.  Shortly after I got it way back in like 2016, I put the rubber turntable mat aside and began using a leather and cork matt from Wooden Bull. See https://woodenbull.com.  I never looked back.

Recently, I pulled out a Ringmat and noticed a more robust sound with more definition in the low end. 

I'd like to try another. Recommendations?

Too bad Technics lost their mojo on mats for high-end TTs! Currently I use Denon DP-80 mat (NOS) on my SL1200GAE.. second to it is SFTG172-01 / RGS0010, original Technics. 

“….Denon DP80 mat is superior to the Technics mats?"

technics mats have less contact area to the vinyl record surface comparing to dp80. also technics mat's pattern does not work well with additional weight.. also, rubber itself seems is a bit finer in dp80 mat..
