The Ringmat Anniversary Gold Spot is an improved version of the standard Anniversary Ringmat. At about 2.9mm thick, it is some 100 microns thinner than the other Ringmat 330 models. It looks very much like the standard Anniversary, but with the addition of a ‘Gold Spot’ disc. The Gold Spot disc is very powerful and its orientation is very important. It improves clarity, speed and timing of the sound, locking the imaging into a stable situation. While the position of the Gold Spot disc on the Ringmat is very important and follows a unique geometric pattern for dealing with resonance in materials, more interesting is the actual orientation of the Gold Spot itself in the spot where it is positioned. For example, were the Gold Spot disc to be turned through 360° from the correct orientation in which it is placed on the Ringmat, the imaging would change and become diffuse

High Fidelity Review
The sound-stage is more focused and the background much quieter, so the noise you thought was a part of vinyl replay disappears. The height grows. The bass goes deeper and the top cleaner. The sound gets warmer but without masking detail, which becomes more obvious but as a part of the whole picture. All in all, the transformation of my vinyl sound is astounding, and though the price is more than 2,200kr, you get a lot for your money. You can easily spend a whole lot more on pick-up or tonearm without getting this kind of result. I have tried the System on much more expensive record players, where the result was just as good. It is whole-heartedly recommended.

Gramophone Review
Whatever the science, this works: the noise floor drops and the dynamic range goes up ...the Anniversary Ringmat more than justifies its cost with the performance enhancements it can bring.

Stereotimes Review
The complete Ringmat System optimizes all of analogue LP’s considerable musical and sonic strengths: natural and believable tonality, musically communicative phrasing, rhythmic articulation and dynamic tracking, and the ability to present a convincing stereo illusion – all interlaced with the finest detail and resolution that smack of the organic rather than the ersatz and artificial. I consider the Ringmat System absolutely essential for the highest LP performance.
