Cartridge Man - Music Mat

[RobsterD]

Anyone had any experience of this looking at an upgrade for my Lenco PTP
Thinking of the above - Tenuto or a Mystic mat if I can find one

I have one. Sounds good but is a major PITA to get on the platter. The Music Mat is extremely soft and sticky. To get it onto the platter with no excentricities is nigh on impossible! Since it is ribbed the excentricities will show very clearly, a sight I could not stand! My recommendation is a SDS Isoplatmat which damps the platter perfectly and some platter mat which provides a perfect interface on top.

Recently bought the Analogue Works silicon mat and was very impressed, especially for the low asking price ... not got a Lenco though.

Probably not what you want to hear but the stock Goldring Lenco mat is very good. It is a firm, heavy rubber compound which damps the platter and provides good support to the records. I have tried many, very expensive/exotic mats and most sounded worse.

not at all Dave I have been using the Lenco recently comparing to a 5mm Achromat and a Ringmat 330 not heard alot of difference if honest
