FS. Tenuto Gunmetal TT mat (new)

[paulf-2007]

Well ok, mine is not the Tenuto mat but a solid copper mat on a DP80 and it's great. Maybe the combination of the Arche headshell and your arm are giving enough detail and the Tenuto is tipping it over the edge. I guess we can have too much of anything.
My experience is as Oliver said.

To be honest, the 2kg it weighs may have had an adverse effect but still stunned.

I like that analogy.... never looked at it from that perspective.

Also, I would consider that the DP80 to have as much if not more torque than the SP10... lol. (No bad comments please).

It all comes down to what you want to hear at the end of the day, I want to hear everything, good or bad but reading around American forums, they'd puke at the level of neutrality I prefer as they like warm and "vintage analogue" sound, WTF that means btw 😂

It didn't suit and respect to Peter for putting his money where his mouth is and giving it a try.

I still love mine wouldn't be without it. I'm listening now, put the rubber mat on and lost all the transparency and clarity. The Tenuto is a wonderful item.

i had to disagree with the chap on diy audio that rebuilt a dp80 with a CNC plinth, who said it sounded best with the rubber mat, but hadn't tried a copper mat. The rubber mat made it sound meh in comparison.

It's just one of those anomalies, Paul. It's in the ear of the owner.

I am really sorry guys that I’ve disappointed.

But this my final words on the subject.

We all like what we like (yes). I have spent a lifetime trying to get the best I can afford. The ARCHE’ Headshell was the best ever upgrade, followed by the Dynavector and then the Whest PS30 RTD SE . The McIntosh has been my main stay for many years and the Revolvers have been a revelation.

Other stuff, has been and gone...... without a thought, but I don’t buy anything that I don’t think is worth a listen!!!!! DACs / SUTs included.

The McIntosh SACD is probably the icing on the cake... but again, not to everybody’s cup of tea.! Very costly!!!!

I really wanted the Tenuto to work........ but it was not to be. nothing wrong... but not quite right.

Perhaps it’s something to do with my age (an old git) but who knows.

Happy again with the kit I’ve got......... the way it is.

For those doubting..... ask Nigel (aka Vinlyspinner) he has heard the best I have to offer.

I really appreciate the comments made and if your happy with your stuff....... God Bless.
