Turntable mat options

Unberwaltz, absolutely correct. The best turntable system sounds like NOTHING. The only thing you should be listening to is the cartridge. nothing else. The mat is not so much the issue as the way the record is being held down. I do not think anyone can argue that the record should  not be perfectly flat and not be held tightly against a non resonating surface. Any non resonating surface will do and they all sound exactly the same, like nothing. If a turntable, mat or tonearm has a sound to it throw it away it's garbage. If you think it sounds better throw your ears away they're garbage. 

On the subject of Rega TT's, is there a clamp preferred for the short spindle of the subplatter on these? Most I have found specifically say they don't work on Rega TT's. Regarding mats, I've tried a few and always go back to the felt.

I was going to just leave you to your delusions but.... I'm not that guy.

But before I go any further I just want us to be clear that you are going on record ( sic) here on Audiogon as saying....

In your system to your ears you cannot tell any difference between;
No mat, felt mat, rubber mat, foam mat, vinyl mat, acrylic mat, brass mat, cork mat, aluminum mat, leather mat, glass mat and any other material anybody may have tried.
All adjusted for correct vta, sra and azimuth of course....

I really like my Origin Live mat. Its a composite of rubber and cork.
