What sonic benefits/differences do you notice?

Depends on what one compares it to. I ran through a large handful of mats, each with its charms, but the shortest answer is that I found the Herbie's to maximize harmonic complexity and transients to a degree that the others did not.

Well, until recently I've sorta subscribed to the "Flat-Earth-Linnies" society and stuck with the felt mat (and variations therein).
Now, I'm feeling that the possibilities (and the fact that my table is a DIY Linn Clone) of this FrankenLinn haven't been fully exploited.
Thanks for your thoughts on the Herbie's Mat. It is now officially on my "upgrade bucket list" along with a better motor/speed control (thanks to John Ellison here!) and armboard. Ah, all those toys!!!

Hey you're welcome. Wool felt is nice on my Thorens, too.
Regarding the Herbies and felt...you can return the Herbies with no questions asked if it turns out you like the felt better ;)

The Herbie's evens out the spectral balance and creates a more realistic tonal balance IME.
