Has anyone tried a "leather" turntable mat?
No. Just a logical assumption. 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
I don't think anyone will disagree with you. But if we really want to be honest, there is a level at which objectivity trumps the mainstay of this forum. Namely the politically charged subjective forces that protect the party line. I think if some...

It's not respectful to make fun of the dead.... voices, that is.
