Copper Mat on Technics sp-10?


I bought a Technics sp-10 (love it) that did not come with a mat. For now, I'm using my Lenco mat, upside down.

What do you recommend?

I think the TT Weight copper and carbon-fibre looks cool, but are they really better than a good rubber mat?

ps. Is there anywhere one can buy the stock sp-10 mat?

I use the TT Weight copper mat on my Technics SP-25/Triplanar combination.

Huge difference over stock mat.

Good luck.
My set-up (if it makes a difference regarding the mat) is a Graham Phantom and Sumiko Celebration or a Denon 103r (and I'd like to try a Benz Ebony LP).

Do mats tend to sound like their material, meaning copper and carbon fibre would sound more lively than rubber?

Thanks for the data. Jeff

I find that's pretty much true, but the Boston, Micro Seiki and TT Weights are all hard mats yet each offers substantially different performance.

My advice is go for some of mats suggested, but buy used here at Audiogon. After testing, sell off all but your favorite.

If you shop smart you may not even loose any money and you'll learn a lot.
I do not know about the copper mat as I have not used one. I can however vouch for the quality of 3 other products I purchased from TT Weights (center weight, tt leveling spikes, and record cleaning machine record clamp). They are all top notch in build quality and function. If I was in the market for a TT mat I would not hesitate to buy from TT Weights.
