Mat for Rega P10

Even more hyperbole than MC.....although a different type. MC believes it, I can't see how this guy does. He is trolling.

If you read the note from  @gbmcloud, he said he used the mat on the "lowly P3". How can you say anything is worth $10K when using that? Maybe the other components are so great and the P3 is so far below those levels that the difference was significant. More than upgrading to a $5K table?

Please....

Problem solved,

$500.....nah

And I just saw two typos in my post.
But the biggest was:
"The Stein sounded like my system had just had a $10,000 component dropped into it."
I meant to type "$2,000 component dropped into it."

So much for posting after a cutting down  some trees and limbs for 4 hours! My fingers were a-quiverin'!

One thing hasn’t changed: the benefits will be most audible on classical, older (minimally mike) music, and not the over-produced records so prevalent in the 80s and 90s. I was somewhat unhappy with the fact that, although there were improvements (mainly heard in the voice tracks), that the other records didn’t demonstrate the same degree of improvement, although transients were generally better everywhere.
I’m still euphoric about the mat, but only over about 1/3 of my collection so far.

When it comes to the P10 my suggestion is...Deal with the mat it comes with. It’s Merino wool so it’s not like they went the cheap route. I am not going to try and out-think Gandy on this one. Will a new mat make an impact? Probably...Will it be better, thats subjective.

I’m more than satisfied with the sound I get from this table, not going to meddle with it if it produces the results that satisfy my soul. Truth be told, I can’t believe not one person in this thread has suggested anti-static measures before replacing the mat. There are so many things you can do to destat and completely eliminate this issue. Worked for me, I have zero desire to change the mat now and I have resolved two issues with one solution. Mat doesn’t lift, and much less dust attraction. We audiophiles sometimes over think the solutions to problems we face and hundreds of $$ for a mat with mixed opinions just doesn't seem like a good way to spend money. Buy some records with that money instead.
