Dereneville Magic-Mat


I hadent intended to open yet another tt mat discussion, but just to hear of any other members experience with this mat. One member asked about this on a recent thread, but I couldent find a response. The only decent review I could find was this - https://dervinylist.com/2018/10/24/dereneville-magic-mat/

Checked the link and what i see is this mat on Technics SL1200 mkII or related model. The mat is too thin for this particular turntable. The problem with a super thin mat for Technics SL1200 series is tonearm setup, it's impossible to make a tonearm parallel to the record surface on this turntable if the mat is so thin even for the lovest VTA setting of the tonearm (it's never parallel to the record). The original stock rubber mat is not good for the sound, but at least it's thick enough to rise up a cartridge/headshell/tonearm to make it parallel to the record. 

This is a problem for old Technics SL1200 series of turntables only. 
The best mat for them is SAEC SS-300 ! The thickness of that mat is just fine.

Dear @lastperfectdaymusic @theophile : Even that I can't attest if the linked report is exactly as they said what is a very good characteristic is that we can use it on top the TT mat. Good.

Ok I found at last a review. I Iike the idea that it is washable.The edge looks a bit unfinished,but at the end it is the enhancement of the listening experience that counts. The other clever part of the design is that it sort of bonds with the record,which t my way of thinking improves the vibration damping qualities. it doesent however stick to the record when you lift it off.

Update,found this on a German page called MINT.
Who wants to achieve a different sound on the pad, is facing a huge range of possibilities. Whether cork, felt or plastic - every base has its own sound character. We did a test in issue 6 and compared the felt mat that previously lay on the editor's plate player with other pads. Our favorite was the Magic Mat of Dereneville. The mat is only 0.38 millimeters thick and consists of a silicone coated fiberglass fabric that is washable and antistatic. In fact, the sound was audibly optimized by the flexidisc-like mat - compared to the felt mat, the sound was punchier and punchier, and we also felt that the music sounded a bit more precise. Because we have been using the mat for two years now,
