I'm fortunate that most people see the unsolicited/uncalled for anger displayed by chakster for what it is. |
I've posted a picture of a standard MyMat on my virtual system page. Will post more later.
Although I know chakster didn't plan on it but thanks to him, I've had a marked increase in interest. |
Many years ago, I bought a Living Voice "Mystic Mat". Partially carbon fiber, foam, ceramic fabric. Paid $400 for it. It arrived in a zip-tie bag, with some type of oily substance on it. Oh yeah, it was not flat and had a protrusion on it’s diameter. My reason for bringing this up is, at that time, this mat was top of the line. |
@2channel8,
Thanks for your interest in MyMat. I’ve temporarily taken the ad down. Should be back up soon. If you should have any questions in the mean time, please PM me.

I fail to see how another lp ( or similar) product could be as effective as MyMat. It would require that at the very least the lp/mat and the lp playing be perfectly flat. That's hardly possible on a consistent basis. This is the first hurdle.
If you haven't yet read one of my customers' posts in Member's Reviews, do so. He used/uses a KAB polyglass mat and describes his experience with MyMats. |
@joscow,
I addition, I'm happy to provide contact info, and actually enjoy talking to fellow members.
Hearing from users is a joy and a way to improve a product, or add additional recommendations, if needed. |
@joscow,
If you decide to try MyMat, I'll give you a 25 percent discount on your second one, which be I'm sure you'll want. |

Even after multiple positive customer reviews, @chakster refuses to offer any differing opinions. |
I love the detail this topic is receiving. |
@chakster,
Let us all read personal remarks about the mats you are high on. I've done that. You???? |
I guess you failed to remember @ noromance list of his personal mats and their benefit.
This was early on in this very thread.
Like I said, I have nothing to prove. |
@lewm ,
I appreciate your post. However, I have paid much Attention to how all of this sounds. Probably, 6 years.. The difference in SQ is striking, to an astute listener. |
Coupling by a weight is recommended. What some will be spend on a periphery ring is equal to a nice record flattener.
|
@mijostyn,
Please tell us all how, by using a clamp that connects to a mechanical bearing makes a (positive) difference? |
@chakster ,
You were the "instigator", by dismissing MyMat based upon a picture. Several MyMat users chimed in. Given the construction of MyMat, it’s flexible nature, it’s 1mm thick design, it’s ability to dampen motor noise and still decouple a record from a platter in a 1mm thick mat, is incredible!. I have all positive users’ posts. It seems to me, I have nothing to prove. Actually, one MyMat user said he didn’t like the Boston Mat (Sakura) at all in his system. Which brings me to another point...all of my customers , with different TTs, have all reported good things. Again, I have nothing to prove.
This is with just one MyMat, ...I have had one repeat customer. Two MyMats are better than one, and two are just 2mm thick, perfectly connected to your platter. |
@noromance,
Knowing your system/posts like i do,,,, I think you’re getting it! You still have the current version. Why change a good thing? |
@mijostyn,
You're recommending something unheard by you.
I don't recommend clamps.
We need proper user's comments here. |
I was re-reading the comments above.... It seems that @chakster prizes looks & price over effectiveness. |
I think @noromance comment is a very fair way of saying how MyMat’ effectiveness can be had for a wide range of different tt/systems.
What would be interesting, a price/performance by a user. |
@noromance,
That's a pretty detailed way of remembering.
Thanks for chiming in.

Well @chakster, thankfully I’m not selling these to make a living or to make a profit. It is a labor of love for those of us who can appreciate a superior sounding product for what it is. Sorry you feel a need to tear it down without giving it a chance.

@fuzztone,
Have you tried others?
Sorbothane traps resonances, very similar to rubber, Not good!.

@joscow,
This may be as good a time as any....
The type of mats you listed are just off-the-shelf products cut in a circle with no actual thought behind them. Anyone can go to a craft store and find these materials and go home and cut out a decent circle. These range in price of 20 to 30 $. Now there is a rip off!
My MyMat has actual thought and testing behind it. It may not look like a $250.00 mat and on up but the proof is in the pudding. The fact that one MyMat is just around 1mm thick is very significant given the construction and effect it offers.Even using two, which more than doubles one MyMats’ positive contributions to one’s listening experience, at $99.00 is a steal. It will actually improve the sound of any existing mat one may have.
As you may have read in the Member Reviews section, I am not in this to make a buck. I really developed it as a labor of love for the (hobby) that I love so much. (much more than a hobby to me).
I was tempted to offer @chakster a deal but his preclusion to determine the effectiveness of a product based upon a glimpse of it, is a no go.
Peace,
Steve

Having said this, I should update my pictures soon.
When I mail an order, the way it is packed and the shipping time involved will assure the customer receives a perfectly flat MyMat. |
Thanks @chackster for the slight misleading of everyone.
That picture I posted was of a MyMat (one of three) that just came fresh off a new role. I mention this in my ad. I assumed as well that thoughtful people who looked at MyMat's advertised thickness would understand this.
I am somewhat surprised that chackster continues to dismiss MyMat without even wanting to try it and in spite of all of it's glowing reviews, in addition, I have never had one complaint. |
@joscow,
First, thanks to those who mentioned MyMat.
While MyMat isn't as inexpensive as cork, felt, and....I can't bring myself to say r_bb_r,...... it will best those easily and most other mats at 4 times the price.
Check my ad on US Audio Mart. Also, check out the post under Member Reviews here.
Thank you,
Steve (Slaw) |
