Ringmat Developments - The Essential Turntable Accessory!Own a Linn LP12? Why not give one a try. They knock the spots of the standard felt mat.
Yes, on first impression it appears costly for just a turntable mat, however let your ears be the judge and you will be richly rewarded. The difference is quite breathtaking. The music oozes from the speakers and hits you in the face. A must try!
RINGMAT is a new method of record support and the first that has been properly designed for the generation of an accurate, low distortion signal. It's unique design enables 12" records to be supported so that the main vibrational modes of record movement - caused by the input of stylus energy - give the minimum possible error signal. This allows for improved tracking and, as a result, a reduction in stylus and record wear.
With RINGMAT, there is a reduction of background noise with a cleaner, crisper and yet more delicate sound, together with a wider and deeper soundstage; there is an enhanced sense of power, with greater weight and authority in the bass.
Available in three thicknesses, RINGMAT is a direct replacement for most felt and rubber mats on leading turntables, as well as most bare platters, including those made of acrylic and glass. For turntables with tonearm height adjustment, choose the RINGMAT with a thickness of 3mm; otherwise consult your local hi-fi dealer, supplier or Ringmat Developments as to which thickness you require for your turntable.
