New Synergistic Research Record Mat


  Just wondering if anyone has tried the new Synergistic Research record mat and if so what your impressions were sound wise.     https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/turntable/uef-record-mat/
Thanks

Yes, the PHT. My fave, too.  But some persons whom I respect do swear by them. It, first of all, hinges on whether crystals can effect a reverse piezo-electric effect, by absorbing RFI and turning it into heat.  The second question is why would there be a particular concentration of RFI anywhere near to the cartridge proper.  The third question is can the necessarily very tiny crystal inside a PHT do this in sufficient magnitude to be heard.  The fourth is why should color of the crystal change the sonic signature of the end effect.
Yea, but it makes your cartridge sound like it cost thousands more.........Hey! They said so!

I can understand and even respect people who say they have tried something and don't think its worth it, or they prefer something else, or even if they say its pure crap, because that's their prerogative and they have every right to tell us all about their experience. But people who throw insults around based it seems on nothing more than a selfish desire to show off, these I have no respect for. None whatsoever. Just so you know.
