I spoke to some turntable dealers regarding tweaking there turntable with the above mat. Some are positive about it and some felt that the original platter mat sound characteristic is what the designer intended it to be. what is your opinion?

Raul , tq for your suggestion. Will look out for it. By the way yr system looks real good to me. I noticed that U seems to like Acoustics Signature turntable v much. What is it about the turntable that U like? Do u use any mat on it ? TQ
Dear Audioblazer: Mines are the Analogue One MK2 ( now is a MK3 version ) and I like the Mambo too: www.acoustic-signature.com .

The Acoustic Signature platters are made from metal and the best mat for metal is a metal mat, mines: SAEC S300 and Audio Technica AT666 vacuum plate.

Regards and enjoy the music.

What's the scoop on carbon fiber? It is a little more dinero but considering the amount of cash we waste on this stuff... Does it make a noticeable difference? Thanks,Chet
I have an original AQ sorbothane mat (20yrs old)...it never leaves any residue on the vinyl and I use a clamp.  I understand the new formula may have issues.
