Frustrated with Vinly
Sometimes, when cost is a issue, looks are IMO far down the list of considerations. BTW, one of my MyMat customers (who is a repeat customer) has that Technics tt. He’s now enjoying two MyMats as a sandwich, with a KAB poly mat in the middle. I told him to throw away the stock rubber mat. On of the best MAT for Technics and almost any other turntable is SAEC SS-300 from the 70s/80s. The absolute best one in my opinion is gunmetal Micro Seiki CU-180 with ST-10 disc stabilizer, but this combo is very expensive and rare. Yet another great modern MAT is ($250) 47 Labs THE MAT from Sakura Systems which is the latest version of the Boston Audio Mat, so many reviews online. This is an image of perfect cartridge for Technics tonearms (Grace LEVEL II Ruby) on The Mat, i really like the surface of The Mat. It’s Graphite. |
@jnn Thanks for your input. CD’s are for sure awesome. In fact, last night I was listening to some Dire Strait’s Brother in Arms on SACD and it sounded great. But so far I am also enjoying LP’s even though the occasional pops/crackles are annoying, I am determined to get to a point when those become very minimal. As stated before, I have a Denon Dp-300f with the Ortofon 2M Blue and I feel it sounds pretty good overall. I can only imagine, how it will sound once I move up to a more substantial Turn Table with a good cartridge (probably going to go for a MC next time). By the way, I also listen to tapes once in a while and still have most of my audio cassettes. I swear they will make a come back one day, lol. |
