[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 1110366, member: 2310"] The higher the frequency, the easier to absorb. Hence, high frequencies do not build-up and will not superimpose on the fundamental. The effect of the Achromat is pretty much the opposite of what you are describing. Since its contact with vinyl record surface is limited, it is less of a damper than a standard felt or rubber mat. It is believed to allow more of the original resonances to remain in the records itself netting a "livelier" sound. You are correct though about it's sonic value - to some it's a revelation, to others it's an abomination. Depends on personal preferences but strictly technically speaking, it all depends on TT/Platter/Cartridge/arm/yada-yada synergy, and the type of music one plays the most. [/QUOTE]
