Turntable Mats

These have had consistantly good reviews in the various hi-fi rags, but think there was a post on the old Forum to the effect that a Statmat made no difference to the sound of a Naim CDP (a CD3 I think). AFAICR the same post said it did good things for something like an Arcam.

Ross,

??yellow??

Martin

... if yellow is undesirable, what colour should music be?

cheers

Nigel

Ross,

is that synasthesia?

cheers, Martin

Didn't Scriabin also hear colours and plan a symphony with colours projected simultaneously to convey what he "heard" naturally from the music alone. I'm not sure if he ever completed or performed such a work.

and all this from a bit of paper with cork rings .

You guys are abviously crazy. Everybody knows that music is...oh, forget about it. This may have been about the Ringmat, but I really appreciate your sharing your experience.

My experience with the Ringmat, 2nd version, was immediate 'improvement' - much mpore detail, quieter surfaces, higher volume and better dynamics without varying the volume knob. That was followed by the impression that music sounded more electronic and 'hifi', and the felt mat went back into use.

Regards.

Heard the same Ringmat as Phil, and I think Ross had an excellent description, and I suspect Phil's description is a less analytic version of same--the increased treble makes it sound more detailed and hi-fi. The bass sounded more reverberant to me (in fact, the impression I got was everything sounded more reverberent and echoey), so with emphasized bass and treble, midrange lost out.
