I was re-reading the comments above.... It seems that @chakster prizes looks & price over effectiveness.
Design is definitely very important for me when it comes to any high-end gear (turntable or mat, speakers of amps).
But do you think that Sakura The MAT, SAEC SS-300 and Micro Seiki CU-180 and CU-500 are all inferior in comparison to your mat ?
If you never tried those mats i recommend you to try.
If you already tried please comment
