CD Mats


There quite a few CD mats that have been recommended on Agon. Can you give me a list of the ones you tried, how they compard, what CDP you tried them in and what you recommend? Also include the price and where you bought yours from.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I tried several before but nothing really made consistent noticeable improvement.........until I used Herbies CD Mat.

This is thin rubber mat similar to surgical glove material that naturally sticks to CD surface, no slippage like other mats. Seems to actually improve sound slightly on a consistent basis, very reasonable price. I have used with several front drawer load Musical Fidelity CDPs.

Price is $20 each.
I second Herbies CD mat. It makes noticeable improvement to red book playback but it doesn't seem to do anything to SACD or DVD.
The Herbies Mat is great value. You can read a review I posted here in the review section.

Highly recommended.
