SteinMusic Perfect Interface Turntable Mat

"It is this realistic and sonically attractive 'organism' that the Pi Carbon Signature adds to every single LP, regardless of how it was recorded." — Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound, April 2021, Editors Choice Award

The Perfect Interface addresses the contact between the LP and the platter — the acoustic interface where the platter's material characteristics and resonance profile directly affect what the stylus reads from the groove. A different mat changes what the record sounds like, because the record's mechanical behavior changes.

What It Does

The Perfect Interface mat uses carbon-based materials treated with Stein's resonance-controlling approach. The result, per Jonathan Valin at The Absolute Sound, is a realistic and sonically attractive quality added to every LP — not a tonal correction, but an enhancement of the LP's inherent musical information. An Editors Choice Award is the press's way of saying this is worth investigating seriously.

Press Recognition

Jonathan Valin at The Absolute Sound reviewed the Perfect Interface in April 2021 and gave it an Editors Choice Award. The Absolute Sound has covered SteinMusic consistently over the years with recognition of the genuine sonic improvements Holger Stein's products deliver.
