Technics SL-1200G Mat Recommendations


Has anyone with this TT had good results with aftermarket Mats? 
@atmasphere recently mentioned that the stock mat could be improved upon.
Thanks.

Its tricky! The problem is that the spindle height on the Technics is rather short, so many platter pads mean that you can only use a record weight rather than a clamp.

We've used the Oracle pad with good results.
for the 1200G I am using:

Stillpoints LPI
Boston Audio Design Mat
Ortofon LH-4000 with Headshell wires from LH-6000
Lyra Delos 1.75 grams at 0 on VTA

Took a while for Delos to settle in but wow.  sounds incredible.  The Delos is incredible but you have to have major patience.
Just installed a herbies excellent mat 4mm, 285mm diameter.  
fits within the lip of the platter.  raises the height 1mm (4mm thick) which is good for shorter cartridges.  

so far it sounds much better than the achromat, bull mat and stock mat. i will be keeping this one.
