My white leather mat that I bought on Amazon initially for my RP10 and later transferred to my P10 is 1.5mm thick (same as the P10 stock white mat). If the P8 stock felt mat is 2.0mm thick then it's different from the P10 stock mat. I think the leather mat is better than stock for static and sound quality. I'm really not unhappy with the leather mat but if the Teac sounds as good and totally eliminates the static sticking issue, I'll be good. The Herbie's mat has a lot of positive reviews so I ordered it out of curiosity. If I like the Teac on the P10, I may try the Herbie's on my LP12.
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?
