Anyone still using a Teres table?

Are y'all still using the clamp? How about mats?

Nrenter- Your monkey wood 255 w the lead-damped platter is still going strong chez moi!  Schroeder Model 2 arm, ZYX Airy2 cart.  I was wondering about a mat myself lately.  

I love it, Swampwalker! I still have fond memories of that table.

I want to try a mat, but I also want to continue using my clamp. I've thought about a custom cut Herbie's Grungebuster (and maybe having a custom cut piece to fit underneath the clamp as well). As I mentioned above, I'd really like to collect another platter to evaluate the differences. Not really interested in dumping my solid acrylic platter, though. I've got a OL Silver mk3 (I believe) and a Sound Smith Aida (love this cart).

I'm using the Teres hardwood clamp with the Extreme Phono carbon fibre donut. I took it off a few months ago and it sounded uptight, put it back on and everything came together again.

Hi:
I have a Teres 255 (Acrylic Lead Shots Platter) with custom made plinth. One of the best upgrades that I made to my system was to install a high performance arm (Teres Illius). Besides that I installed a crystal (Glass) mat. You can buy one for about $60 in Ebay. I feel an overall improvement. Subtle but noticeable improvements in highs and bass definition as well as  better instrument separation. When deciding about the glass mat I reasoned that if Brinkmann used this approach it will be worth.  Another plus is that looking at the platter from the top you can see the lead shots cups (which I liked a lot). The mat look like an integral part of the clear acrylic platter.

The only negative side is that the mat is about 6mm thick and I can no longer use the Teres clamp as a "clamp" because the threaded spindle did not reach the female thread in the clamp. I use it as a weight.
