SP-10 Mat

Thanks Misha. I am content now :-)

I am afraid I have zero interest in the pigskin TTM mat.   I tried the Jico leather mat and it softened transients.  They may to a good job in systems needing some refinement.

 . Using a clamp does a similar thing to the life in music. I own an Orb record flattener, so all my records are flat. All my clamps sit alone being unloved.

   I want to hear the full transients and life in music and the cu-180 does that. I have finished ny search for platter interfaces.

chakster.  

here is a nice shot of your cu-180 mat on the SP10 mk3.  It does look great on the table

There is a seller on eBay that sells replicas of the MS CU mats, I have bought over 30 of them from him in various configurations, including custom made mats for my DN308 builds and DP6 / 7 builds too.

Below a link to a current listing, no affiliation other than being a satisfied customer.

I too greatly prefer the sound produce with a Copper platter over any rubber mat.


Good Listening

Downunder, the TTM is not pigskin. It is thick stainless steel. I think you have it mixed up with some other mat. Very heavy and comes with its companion oil filled clamp. The mat itself can be tuned via the 3 Allen bolts. I believe it is called TTM monitor mat.

Hi genesis.

Got it.  that looks a bit better.
when I googled TTM mat I got this pigskin mat

thanks Peter.

might source one of these for my Exclusive P3 if the cu-180 sounds better on it when I try.

cheers
