Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork.

Just to clarify, I use the bare platter most of the time. Sometimes a recording is just too much. That’s when I throw on the MyMat to take the edge off without losing the essence. Being thin, there’s no need to adjust VTA.
Disclaimer: Steve sent me an early version to try.

@noromance,

Knowing your system/posts like i do,,,, I think you’re getting it! You still have the current version. Why change a good thing?

Any turntable mat will change the sound. I happen to like the SPEC Audio AP-UDI. Will you? Who knows.

if you want to try out an inexpensive interesting  mat try the washi mat by Teac, currently on sale on parts connection in CA , I,m getting good results with it on my Roksan Xerxes 20 , not staic like felt mats, its made oft thin  japanese papyrus. YMMV but at least is around 20 bucks.

I was re-reading the comments above.... It seems that @chakster prizes looks & price over effectiveness.

Design is definitely very important for me when it comes to any high-end gear (turntable or mat, speakers of amps).

But do you think that Sakura The MAT, SAEC SS-300 and Micro Seiki CU-180 and CU-500 are all inferior in comparison to your mat ?

If you never tried those mats i recommend you to try.
If you already tried please comment
