Mats for Regas - recommendations?

Rod,

my deck is fitted with a Michell Tecnoarm and an SRM "silent base" which effectively makes it a suspended deck with the motor mounted on the sub chassis and off the plinth.  I have also fitted the 24 volt motor and TTPSU with speed switching.

Since you have the TTPSU I gather, you might consider Michael Lim's dual 33rpm pulley, I fitted one of these with a pair of the Rega "white belts" for a noticeable improvement.

The combination of motor upgrade and dual belt drive were the last mods I made and were earlier this year, most of the others I did some years ago.

The change with those last mods were quite a change of character to my hearing, it lost, perhaps a certain "breathless" quality but gained an air of impeturbability and unstoppability, more akin to a high mass deck.  In some way the presentation seemed to slow down and allow all the details to develop more fully and completely - it seems a little odd to describe it this way, but that was my impression at the time - a completely unhurried and fully presented musical event with nothing skipped or glossed over and everything accorded its rightful place and weight, almost as if time itself were stretched to allow everything its own space.

Have to agree about Frank, superb engineering, both design and execution and good to deal with as well.
