Mat for Rega P10

I decided to start this discussion to hear different experiences from Rega RP10 and P10 users. I know Rega does not suggest replacing their own, supplied with turntable, mat as doing so can degrade the sound but I have to say that I am loyal opposition to that concept, looking for replacement ASAP.

I know Framer recommended the Stein Music The Perfect Interface Carbon mat but $625 for mat is quite steep I think. Even the cheapest one is $250 and I do not consider It a bargain. 

Does anybody here use either of those two mats and can share some insight as to why they are so expensive and if they really make that much of a difference?

@sokogearThanks, I got the Teac mat and am using it - I like how it stays put on the platter. I like the way it looks as well.

Thanks.

Honestly, I am not going to compare to the original junk supplied by Rega. Functionally upgrade...

I wasn’t asking for a comparison. Just how does it sound? Surely you should be able to answer that?

Frankly, I don't know why you'd start this thread, only to basically say in the end, you're satisfied with not having static issues.

You misdirected all of us.

If you want to find an inexpensive mat that will enhance your musical experience for $20 more than you paid earlier, give me a PM.
