I forgot to mention this. When listening to The Cars, 'Panorama' (and yes I agree, it is an underappreciated album) I found the bass guitar riffs were so easily discernable. I was able to follow the fret work and string plucks better than in the past. Then I realized, I had two of the MyMat on my platter now that I have not had in the past. I really do believe the MyMat plays a role in this area of record playback. I have stated this before but wanted to emphasize it again. Thanks Steve (slaw)!
