    Yes. My pal Be Yamamura used to make them back in the late 70s for us to sell. You need to be sure that the turntable bearing is up to the job of supporting the extra weight, because many can't.

    I have the Puresound Tenuto MkII gunmetal mat on my 301 having upgraded from the lighter weight Mk I version. It makes a very noticeable difference to the sound which I prefer to the stock 301 mat or any other after market mats I have tried.

    I have not tried a copper mat but the density of copper and gunmetal are similar so would expect similar effect on sound.

    Well the tenuto is is on my list of things to go on my SP10. It's a cracking bit of kit BUT very hard to find used.

    Bronze I imagine would yield similar results.

    Have you got a link to the one you are considering?

    In fact if I recall correctly, the original Puresound mat before the Tenuto was a copper one. Presumably Guy found gunmetal to give a better result.

    Ah I see,. I'm still looking for a used tenuto lol. Would have considered copper.

    Yes the precursor was copper, the gun metal has less resonance
