No_regrets, I do hope you like the Sakura/Boston mat. I auditioned about half a dozen after market mats before I settled on that one. But I do not claim to have a huge and comprehensive experience with the myriad of available choices. Also, I have 5 turntables to feed. Three of them have the graphite mat. On a 4th TT I use an SAEC SS300 metal mat (Victor TT101) and on the 5th I use a solid copper mat. This is the Kenwood L07D which came with a 5 lb stainless steel mat; I had a 5 lb copper mat made to replace the SS. I hate to admit It, but the change to copper made a big difference on the L07D, I think because copper is a superior EMI shield.

@no_regrets I have read that the Vertere Mat and also the Ringmat go great with ur Linn |
@lewm Its theory, not hypothesis... 😁 |
@lewm Yes, I hope I like the Boston Mat too 😀 It seems like you are pretty impressed by the copper mat too. However, I'm concerned about adding too much weight to my LP12. I like the fact that the Boston Mat only weighs roughly 1 pound, so I'm hoping that won't mess with my suspension on the LP12. I'm curious.... what sonic improvements do you typically hear with the Boston Mat vs just using the typical Linn felt mat? Thank you and best wishes to all, Don |
