turntable mat : boston mat, audioquest sorbogel ma


I spoke to some turntable dealers regarding tweaking there turntable with the above mat. Some are positive about it and some felt that the original platter mat sound characteristic is what the designer intended it to be. what is your opinion?

Qdrone : TQ for your suggestion I will e mail music direct after I get my new turntable
The AQ mat will deteriorate after awhile.
Mine can no longer be used because it leaves PERMANENT marks on the surface of the vinyl.
I tried emailing AQ about a replacement, or a discount on a new one, and got no answer.
So watch out for the AQ mat.
While it is 'fresh' it did a good job.
Dear Audioblazer: If you can find it the acrylic SOTA mat is a great option and in my opinion better that the ones named here.

Regards and enjoy the music.
