RINGMAT SPACERS have two functions: they
provide a necessary interface between
RINGMAT and the turntable and allow the
stylus rake angle to be adjusted to the
right position. The spacers improve the
sound dynamics, acting as a buffer
between the low-mass RINGMAT and the
high-mass platter. In addition they
allow listeners to replicate the angle
of the record’s original cutting stylus
– a correctly angled stylus axis results
in the correct tracking of the grooves,
thereby eliminating another cause of
distortion.
RINGMAT SPACERS are used on the bare
platter, underneath the LP STATMAT and
RINGMAT, and comprise three layers. The
first layer is a non-slip Spacer Mat,
with a stud on the outer edge to prevent
the smooth, plastic Base and Top spacers
from slipping while a record is being
played. It also acts as a damper for
certain types of platter, especially
metal ones which may "ring" when in use.
