In Reply to: SorboGel Mat - Directions from AQ posted by Dick Laurent on December 15, 2005 at 12:40:24:
... just curious as the Technics "super-mat" is about 1/4"

I'm comparing one right now to the Technics mat and so far, I like the Technics better. Not because the AQ is bad, it's just that I can't hear anything "better" to justify replacing the stock mat. It's MUCH thinner than the Technics mat at about 1/8" or less and makes setting VTA a pain. To get the same VTA with both mats, you have to shim the cartridge when using the AQ and I don't like to do this.I'm probably going to keep the Technics mat and use the AQ on something else.

I'll have to actually measure it. I don't think it is quite that thick, but maybe the fact that it actually adheres to the platter and not just sits on top helps with the performance (as far as DD is concerned).
