What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats.

Thanks. Useful info

I concur with avanti, based on personal experience. I settled on Hexmat Yellow Bird on acrylic platter of Clearaudio, brings out more details yet not harsh and fatiguing.

If you are using a Linn mat and like the sound you may be interested in what is said to be an improvement on such.

I’ve been through myriad mats on my Technics SP10R, including the stock rubber, Oyaide BR-One, Origin Live (love their Gravity One stabilizer), Ortofon cork/rubber, both thicknesses of Acromat, the Herbie’s mat, and others. All sound notably, sometimes extremely, different, emphasizing or suppressing different frequencies. The one I settled on is Boston Acoustics Mat2 from Sakura Systems. To me it is the most neutral of them. But I do think the preference is likely to be turntable specific, so you have to experiment.

A platter mat is like subtle seasoning in your food. All types are subtly different from one another, and you as the diner need to figure out what’s best in your system.
