The 1mm version is the older version. The new version TU800 EXi is a stiffer 3mm version that fixed the problems associated with the 1mm version. This is an amazing sounding mat. I have it and it is worth the $ you spend. The sound is full with harmonics without any glare. This is the only mat that does not roll off the top end.
Harmonics TU-800 EX Turntable mat.
I am thinking of purchasing a Harmonics TT mat. It's only 1mm
thick but costly at $315 a piece. Michael Fremer likes it, he said it improves the liveliness of acrylic platters which he thinks sound soft in the base and congested overall. I'd very much like to hear your opinion if you are using this mat.
I'd also like to ask Fremer and all the TT manufacturers why has no one come up with an all vinyl platter of the same formula they use to press records? That would be the ideal impedance match.
