I used to use a Statmat in my CD 12 (and Ikemi) which "seemed" to make
a difference to the sound. The "rationale" was that by minimising
static charge on the spinning disc surface, the transport had an easier
time.
Did I believe this...yes. Did it work...seemed to. Fortunately I don't
have to worry about this anymore ince I only spin my discs once...


Oh and can we please stop talking about Linn in this thread - it's
unfair. Yes they make great gear - yes they make extremely expensive
gear. Can we compare the Klimax DS to a TP or SB? - Yes. At least Linn
have made a statement "squeezebox" type product. This should be good
for the (highish-end) market generally. Linn were NEVER going to make a
£1,000 transport of any sort. That just isn't their market anymore
rightly or wrongly - (wrongly IMHO). Linn suffered years ago from
building over-engineered poducts at prices that were too low - 'Bariks
for example - they had to stop making them as it just wasn't
cost-effective. Now they've gone too far the other way.

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some
very expensive cables ;o)
