Which one? Where can I find it? how much is it? What's it made of? I've tried a few mats and I always found in all of them some added "colorature". I've not tried any of the "audiophile approved" ones since I didn't expect any of them to work, and they're not inexpensive either, but maybe it's time to change my mind.

I do not know, Antonio. I tried very few "audiophile approved" mats and they were too much “Fremery” to me: means showy but with not substance. I have a few mats (or perhaps now is just one left) that picked quite long time ago from some TTs of 70s and that work perfectly fine. I have no idea what they are and where I can get them. They are most likely rubber-made but have a very high density. They feel mode feel like metal or plastic then rubber. They are a approximately few mm high, rather on a thick side, weight a couple of pounds and as far as I concern do Sonically whatever is necessary. I do not know what quality a TT’s mat should have by being sandwiched with my platter it “sounds” very nice, at least I can’t identify anything wrong - platter related. I have also, and sometime used a parabolic mat (along with my parabolic add-in platter) but it requires using a heavy center-poll weight (clamp). I do not like the center-poll clamp and therefore I tend do not run the parabolic top.
