noromance, The intent of my post was not to suggest that you purchase a Resomat. I was merely trying to point out that possibly the inadvertant effect of leaving the strobe disc on your platter, thereby raising the LP off the surface of the mat, was analogous to the effect deliberately achieved by using the Resomat. You may be liking that effect of letting the LP resonate freely in air, essentially.
By the way, the Resomat was not by any means the first and only implementation of the idea. Decades ago, the Transcriptors platter did the same thing; the LP sat on felt dots mounted on a set of regularly arranged pucks fixed to the surface of the platter. It was not even possible to use a conventional mat with the Transcriptors. I am guessing that the Transcriptors idea must have influenced Vic of Trans-fi, in his design of the Resomat. Vic is English. Transcriptors was a British product.
