- Ringmat release a New version of their multi arward winning
Anniversary Ringmat.
The new Anniversary will be
called "Anniversary Gold Spot" and at about 2.9mm
thick it will be some 100 microns thinner than the existing
Anniversary. It will look very much like the existing Anniversary,
but with the addition of a 'Gold Spot'. An even more advanced
adhesive will also be used. Performance over the existing
Anniversary will be much improved, at least as much again
as the present Anniversary over the old XLR. Please

RINGMAT is a new method of record support
and the first that has been properly designed for the generation
of an accurate, low distortion signal. It's unique design
enables 12" records to be supported so that the main
vibrational modes of record movement - caused by the input
of stylus energy - give the minimum possible error signal.
This allows for improved tracking and, as a result, a reduction
in stylus and record wear.
With RINGMAT, there is a reduction of background noise with
a cleaner, crisper and yet more delicate sound, together with
a wider and deeper soundstage; there is an enhanced sense
of power, with greater weight and authority in the bass.
The benefits of the Ringmat really come to fruition, with
a further degree of tactile realism, a greater firmness and
accessibility to the sound. It all just goes to show that
there really is more in the grooves to be dug out and, no
matter how futile it may seem in this digital age, that we
can still go on enhancing our enjoyment of those old vinyl
treasures.
Steve Harris (Hi-Fi News & Record Review
April 1998)
Except in the case of those few turntables
which normally have an extremely thin rubber or felt mat and
have no tonearm height adjustment, it is recommended that
the Anniversary 330 or 330 MkII XLR should be chosen. Accordingly,
Linn, Roksan, Rega and similar turntables should use one of
the 330 Ringmats.
