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.
