Audioprism CD Blacklight mat?

Does anyone know the difference between the regular CD Blacklight mat and the one meant for the Stable Platter transport? I have an EAD CD 1000 that has the stable platter transport and The Elusive Disc is selling both CD Blacklight versions BUT the Stable Platter version is priced at $35.00 and the regular one almost half price at $20.00. Just wondering what the difference might be. A friend once brought over the regular one but the hole in the center was a little small to fit over the spindle on CD platter on my EAD. With a little trimming it would work but maybe there are other differences. Any thoughts?

Well I beg to differ about mats. If you want the ultimate tweak, this is IMO the only one to have

Marigo Labs Signature 3-D Mat

The difference in sound stage is mind boggling. I recommend this over all other mats

Not cheap at $199

Thanks for the response. Another thing I was also concerned about is whether adding a CD mat would shorten the life of the transport motor due to spinning extra weight. This would kind of be like spinning two CDs at a time instead of one.

Arnold, Dave, Rich,

So, should I, too, make-into-a-coaster my AudioPrism CD Blacklight?

What value can I sell it for?

Appreciatively,
Mark

I got $5 for mine. In good conscience, I couldn't ask more. Dave
