What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats.
@lewm  Yes, I hope I like the Boston Mat too 😀 It seems like you are pretty impressed by the copper mat too.  However, I'm concerned about adding too much weight to my LP12. I like the fact that the Boston Mat only weighs roughly 1 pound, so I'm...

@lewm , thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me and others. I think I will keep a watchful eye out for a used BA The Mat.  If I can't find one in a few weeks, I'll order a new one to give it a try 😁 Best wishes, Don

I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.

@mijostyn  As I was reading this thread, you were talking about your newly cleaned records no longer holding a static charge.   When you first discovered this phenomenon, you were going to try a series of eliminations to determine what may be th...
