I do again welcome you aboard, and with your great taste in music I will try to keep my snarkiness to a minimum. (Nobody pays any attention to me anyway) In listening shoot outs the LTD arm is very close, I just don't like its feel in my fingers compared to the Amadeus, and I roundly reject the tone arm cables coming straight out the back. Makes things very wonky doing comparisons... I suppose once cables are settled on maybe it wouldn't be an issue. Still , there's tension there that isn't on the Amadeus. Did you hear that, New Zealand? ( they love to muck things up) Yet you've obviously chosen with your ears and good for you. Even that LTD'd Verselex will outperform , musically, a fully tricked out LP12. And look how expensive that is !
I am very intrigued by the 47labs mat, a company with some shrewd engineering behind it. Either of the two Auditorium mats are still my fav. If the day comes when something eclipses those, it will certainly be impressive. Right now I'm sticking with the Germans.
Now as to where or what to place your WTL on, that does make a difference. Not as finicky as some, yet be careful. Some on here have done some fairly suspect things...
Enjoy your table!
