Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series

I have the original anniversary edition Technics 1200 GAE.  Shortly after I got it way back in like 2016, I put the rubber turntable mat aside and began using a leather and cork matt from Wooden Bull. See https://woodenbull.com.  I never looked back.

Recently, I pulled out a Ringmat and noticed a more robust sound with more definition in the low end. 

I'd like to try another. Recommendations?

Another vote for the BAM for my GAE. After trying 4 other mats. I liked it so much, I purchased another one recently for my modded 1200.

I was reading a post or review where it was said that Luxman sells quite a few TT mats to non Luxman TT owners. I was surprised

Dear @jbhiller: Try to find out the original Sota Mat, it's the best ever Mat for any TT and you can mate it with the Basis Audio reflex Clamp. You just can't do better.

 

Ragrds and ENJOY THE MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

The Oracle hard mat was recommended to me for my Technics SL1200G. I tried it but wasn’t really satisfied.

@stereo5 The Oracle needs to be bonded to the platter for it to do its job. You didn't do that since you were able to 'go back' (you would have had to chisel the Oracle off, since it has a pretty effective permanent sticky back) so you really didn't hear what this pad is about.

@atmasphere, I questioned the Oracle dealer I purchased it from, they said they don’t recommend sticking it to the platter, so I did not. Who knew?  I wish I had the kahunas to stick it down.  I do love my HRS lightweight record weight though.  I should have asked you🙁
