The Achromat sounds far superior to the Techie rubber mat

Achromat (5mm) AND a Houdini (6mm)......should sort it...two birds with one stone, so to speak cause the Houdini will improve the performance of your cart as well....

have you thought about the option of raising the techie platter.
This would need a 6mm plate between the bearing and chassis baseplate and 6mm extensions on the PCB mouting screw holes.
There is a sticky on fitting a MN bearing/ chassis strenghtening plate at the start of techiepedia which will give you a full explanation.
The making of the 6mm plate is not rocket science and the only difficulty I can see is getting 6mm longer self tapping screws to hold the bearing and motor in position
There are other options available for fixing but you would need the help of a friendly engineer.
Only a thought at this stage.

I used the Oyaide mat, I preferred it to the Achromat, also 5mm.
Another and cheap option is a cartridge carbon fibre spacer for the headshell.
But I've since sold my Technics and SME 309.
