More About Hexmat
Hexmat is a clamping mechanism that separates the record from the vibrating mass it contacts and allows the vinyl to have its own damping properties. The sound extracted from the LP is accurate, transients are strong, and the notes are clear and free of harmonic distortion. Creator and sound engineer Zolt Fajt "tried to get the size of the contact surfaces close to zero. The total contact surface of a record is several decimeters square. Using the Hexmat isolator, this surface is close to zero, just 1-2 square millimeters and the disk is almost floating."

"Despite the relatively high price, the over-riding effect of the Hexmat was to clean your music. That is, the enhanced sense of clarity was superb. The effect smoothed the upper mids towards your ears, added precision to treble and tonal accuracy to bass. For jazz, this included an intriguing analytical sense to the accuracy of the presentation. The reduction of noise and the added precision that reflected that also added bass impact and weight, giving rock movement and a sense of power."

"Staying in my setup and [it] certainly brings something extra to the table versus stock platter mats that I've experienced. Brings a sense of increased clarity and less ‘smearing' of sound, especially in the top end. Definite reduction in sibilance. Stability of sound holds well even at increased volumes."

"This isolating platter mat is designed for the perfectionist, who is likely to own a high-quality turntable, but wants to squeeze every last drop of performance from their investment. At $150 or £115, it comes in at the higher-end of the platter mat market, but I conclude that this innovative new design is up there with the best available..."
