Thanks Brook -- another recommendation here for the OL mat. I'll check that out and see if I can find one here locally.

I wonder if there are any TT2 owners here that have played with mats and can share their experience?

BTW, I did some more A-B testing between the leather and cork today, and the cork still wins hands-down. I even tried the thin leather on top of the cork, and the soundstage just closed right in, imaging suffered...not a good combo.

OTOH, I notice that the cork can have a tendency to be rather forward, in your face, and a touch harsh at times. I'm hoping I can improve on this with a better mat.
