Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@sbayne.  Because the inventor who seems to know his business has suggested it as a use.   
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Just out of curiosity, has anyone placed a mat under their turntable?  If so, what result did you notice.

One aspect that has been overlooked is that a mat will affect the component above and below it regardless of shelving according to Tim.  My components are in a vertical rack and I have placed one under my Preamp, magnet side down on the shelf.  Im... 
WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl !
The video is amazing.  Others have tried this and have found that it did eliminate almost all noise.  Unfortunately during play the stylus gets so much sludge deposited on it that even after multiple plays the stylus still dredges up gunk.  The re... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
This thread has become a kindergarten brawl on steroids. It's amazing how the gamut of personalities and interactions change little as the decades march on. One kid brings something he thinks is interesting to class to show and tell and he gets ... 
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
In response to Peter, I believe the discrepancy between the KT 88s and the KT 150s is likely related to musical style preference.  My understanding is the Kevin listens mostly to softer musical pieces which may favor the KT88s.  My taste is more t... 
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
Today I compared the VAC 200iq with the kt 150's and the Pass x350.8.  The Kt 150s are a HUGE game changer compared with the Kt88s.  Bigger everything in a good way.  More punch with crazy good mids and excellent imaging.  The Pass had a definite ...

Thanks for the encouragement fischer.  I talked with the dealer and we will roll the kt 150s in 2 weeks.  Thanks for reminding me to experiment with the taps as well. I'm really interested to hear the difference the new tubes will make to the soun...

Dr-John--  I think it was just old and tired.  It was an old McInosh Mc 2002 which I kept on at all times.  Came home and heard an awful buzzing sound.  I wasn't sure what component was causing the racket until I hit the power button and everythin... 
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
I'm not sure what tabs were used but the stock KT 88's were in place.  I did discuss a trial with KT 150's.  I'll be back in a few weeks and ask the dealer to roll the 150's.  Tomorrow I'm auditioning  a local ARC GS 150 with a vinyl set up so I s... 
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
Vandersteen quattros were used.  I was told they are a good pairing with the Vacs. For the Beck and Sanborn album and Keith Jarrett Koln concert the sound was good.  It was the intro to Michael Jackson's Billy Jean that really lacked the umph in a...

Charles hit the nail on the head.  Traveled several hours to listen to the VAC and was surprised to find that it wasn't for me.  Time well spent.  Did listen to the Pass x350.8 which added the punch that seemed to be missing from the VACs.  Back t... 
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
Excellent points all around.  Thank you all for your input.  Will travel this weekend to listen the VAC.   
Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it.  The Austrian made Ayons have had good reviews and are 50% less expensive.  Cost is not the primary concern though.  I am heavily leaning toward the VAC.  Doing due diligence before plunking out t...
