SP-10 Mat

I have an SP-10 with a Micro-Seiki copper mat. Now that my system is dialed in in terms of room acoustic treatments and speaker placement I find the Micro-Seiki mat to be a bit too lively but outstanding in terms of dynamics and soundstage. The stock rubber mat is too dull and bloated.

Could someone suggest a mat that falls in between the two, leaning more towards the copper mat sound than stock but less forward in the midrange and treble.

Double-sided carpet tape.

A friend uses 3M spray adhesive to adhere his mat to the platter. 3M makes a product that does not make a permanent bond to the material called "artist adhesive".

Just about anything with the slightest bit of stickiness will do the trick. You could probably use grape jelly.

But the 3M product is a good idea.

Just talked to my friend and he tells me the 3M Artist adhesive is similar (if not the same) as the adhesive used for Post-it notes.
