A felt on the 533 and the rubber on the Technics. I have Ringmat in the drawer. Have you ever heard the term, "Pulling my leg?"I can't say for sure, but I think mats are a bit of a scam. It could be that my systems aren't great enough to show off the benefits but I'm sceptical to say the least. Besides, it's just one more thing to analyze and take my attention off the music.
"Is that mat making a $100 improvement on my original Brubeck, Time Out? Hmmm. It adds more definition and air to Eddie's guitar on Fair Warning but causes the hi hat to be recessed on Court and Spark. Maybe a blacker background on Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy but constricts the sounstage on Blood on the Tracks."
You can go thru whole listening sessions thinking that stuff and never actually enjoy the tunes. Too much trouble for me at this stage.
