TW Acustic Turntable Mat


From Highwater Sounds Facebook page, Jeff Catalano posted a pic of the new TW Acustic turntable mat - sourced from Japan. It looks pretty substantial. I can always email Jeff on info, but hate to bother him about a turntable mat. Anyone else have any info or cost on this new mat?

Has anyone heard the mat with a Raven One? How does the mat impact the sound? I use the 10.5 arm and XV1s.
Musichead, I have an XV-1s, TW 10.5 arm and a Raven AC. I my opinion, compared to the stock Millenium mat, the TW mat added a sense of ease and flow to the music, made the sound more musical without sacrificing detail, and added more bass impact. With the TW mat thickness, adjusting VTA and anti-skate was a must. All in all, I am very happy with the TW mat as an upgrade compared to the Millenium mat.
Thanks Philb7777

I am not using the millennium mat just the bare platter. Curious did you have to reset the arm or did you just use the VTA adjuster?
I actually did it both ways for a trial. I stayed with the arm about 4mm on the set recommendation of 4-6mm and just used the VTA. The thickness of the matt is about 5 mm, so you have to elevate the VTA quite a bit to get the VTA/SRA back to where you want it. It's worth the trouble though!
