TW Acustic Turntable Mat

Mixing and matching colorations is what the matt enthusiasts ere doing.

If the platter is right use no mat. If the platter is wrong change turntables unless you don't have any money. If that's the case try every common material you can instead of listening to the B.S.ers who say they have the only "right mat". There is no such thing, so ignore them. Snake oil sellers are a dime a dozen in this industry, and boy are they dogmatic. Just note the turntable maker who keeps chiming in on this forum. He's so right he changes his designs like his underwear, and swears each one is THE answer!

6 years of formal education, 35 years design engineering, consulting, and reasearch and several systems that would shrink your ego several sizes. Meanwhile you can worship your old rig which you had no part of designing or producing. The difference between a "doer" and a passive user of other folks work, defining yourself by that which you buy, then proclaim best.

No it is not. There are ways to do things right, sometimes weveral. But it IS a case of a materials scientist, modelling, and finite element analysis guy who has worked on these problems that involve many designs in several fields. Unfortunately in audio the work on tables and mats is mostly blind experimentation. Amazingly, many say that is the best way. Well, these are simple problems compared to an aircraft or Cruise Missile or space craft. Do you think ANY of those harder problems would be best solved by the trial and error, one man's opinion approach used in audio that so many on the forum espouse? Scores and scores and scores would have been killed, and yet we NEVER would have gotten there.

Your insecurity is sad, Ebm. I hope you can overcome it. But measuring your worth through your audio purchases and ability to try to say how copper platters sound relative to aluminum platters, and other such audio minutia, is not the path to better feelings of self worth.

What does it say when you are so threatened by an alternative view, and can only resort to name calling?

No, Ebm, I do not have a "legand" turntable, never heard of it. Is it French?
