Take your original mat on your Empire turntable. Flip it over. Put it back. Listen. You should hear an obvious bass depth extension. You will also hear a slight darkening of the mid-band and the highs will become a tad more subdued. Overall, there will be more weight and authority to the presentation, similar to what you would experience with a good rim drive. Of course there are probably better mats to use, but this one is easy and you already own it. Try and report your findings!

Remember to take the motor cover off before playing records. Credit Pierre Sprey (Mapleshade) for this one. I found it hard to believe the difference.
