Turntable mat options


I'm happy with my Rega RP8/Apheta 2, but am rethinking the standard issue felt mat and would appreciate the group's thoughts: should I sit tight, use no mat at all, or consider something different? Thanks, Chip

Yes Mijo
You did indeed say that and are still saying that in your latest diatribe.

No worries mate, if you are happy then I am happy.

Last night I was experimenting with some of my various mats and to me the difference in SOME mats was very audible, others not so much.
My Victor tt-81 prefers a hard mat like acrylic or an old 78.
My Garrard 401 likes slightly softer like a lead & cork hybrid I have.
Then I introduced a new mat , MyMat, made by a member here and yet again I could hear a difference.

But of course must be my poor tonearms, cartridges and ears.
Or maybe my imagination?
😉😉
@uberwaltz...........just what is MyMat and who makes it?  It has been mentioned a few times and I am unfamiliar with it.

The MyMat is my product. If you're interested, send me a PM with any questions. Thanks for your interest.
@Mijostyn,

"If the mat has a sound to it" is an ignorant way to approach what’s going on. It may just be a mat is allowing what was previously unavailable regarding SQ.
