Hi, Lew,
I'll be a bit less diplomatic than Jsawyer09 and say that you may not have experienced the degreee of improvement (or change as the case may be) when using different mats on certain turntables and so shouldn't be so quick in belittling his post. And I'm certainly not trying to "police" the forum or change your opinion of platter mats. But I've heard some fairly dramatic differences when using various mats on an acrylic platter and especially on metal platters. I've also experienced much more subtle differences (if any) when using mats on a composite platter. It wasn't my imagination. I was systematically experimenting over an extended time period. I'm convinced that platter mats can make a big difference in sound and if I were to describe those changes it would not be hyperbole.

Regards,
Tom
