Hi JBI bought a set of the isolation feet from Kridon. For the $$, they sound really good.Did you not buy the SL 1200 feet with the M6 screws on top - they screw directly into the M6 threads in the plinth.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Technics-1210-12...

chakster.   here is a nice shot of your cu-180 mat on the SP10 mk3.  It does look great on the tablehttps://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4311/36098054451_b2d7c901a4_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4304/36098053671_7027569509_b.jpg

I recently picked up a SL1000Mk3 and used the stk Technics mat.About 3 weeks ago I put on my SAEC SS-300 alloy turntable mat.  WOW - a lot better sounding - reduces a bit of bass blur and better clarity and attack across the board.   Funny, when I...
