From previous experience I would think that the cork mat reduces dynamics (although I don't know what substance the pink mat on the left is made of)?

Andy Hi Andy, I've compared the two mats previously and prefer the RED (not pink) leather on the left though there's not a lot between them. Certainly didn't find the cork killed the dynamics although it's a cork/rubber blend rather than straight cork. Prefer both to the original rubber mat but in Terry's deck's case, the rubber mat had hardened and and was cracked right through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather side up (suede side down) sounded better to me, Chris ... when I had a leather mat. Have you tried both? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, Greg, you have suede both sides? If you go to a leather shop, you will see hides that are smooth on one side ... and 'fuzzy' (ie. suede) on the other. So leather used in chairs and car seats typically shows the smooth (skin) side. Sometimes it's possible to peel off the smooth skin - so you are left with fuzzy (ie. suede) both sides of the piece of leather. But you can never have smooth on both sides.

Guest Hensa Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Good to know, Andy. I reckon I've got suede on both sides in that case as they are both fuzzy. Explains why it sounds the same both sides as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains why it sounds the same both sides as well! Yes, I reckon, Greg. I can send you up a skin/suede leather mat if you'd like to compare how the 2 sides sound with yours. As long as you pay postage - plus $35, if you like it! (Or send it back if you can't hear a difference.) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
