No other mat is like it and all it takes is a simple A-B comparison to demonstrate the differences against other supports. In this way, Achromat acts like a considerably thicker absorbing mat. Millions of tiny bubbles within create complex pathways and that’s where the energy gets lost as heat. But it is only 3-5mm thick and this is where the science kicks in. When the record is sitting on (say) a felt mat, these shock waves are reflected down into the vinyl material and back through the record to be picked up by the stylus and played back as colouration - distortion you hear.Īchromat is the ideal material to absorb energy from the record. This means the record groove wall is not so much caressed but 'pummelled by a road hammer' creating shock waves through the vinyl material. PROBLEM: The stylus in your cartridge accelerates at up to 20,000g when a record is played. On-going refinements in composition and application means that Achromat is now more universal and better than ever Refining the theory he subsequently launched Achromat in 2005. There is no better.Īchromat is the natural progression from the original acrylic interface invented by Arthur Khoubesserian back in 1979.
