VPI felt mat vs aftermarket
@dmk_hifi no I have not had any issues with the mats sticking to records and I frequently change records without stopping the platter.  I also use a second OL mat  on my Origin Live Sovereign mk3 TT.

I own a Gryphon Diablo 300 with Rockport speakers.  It is not edgy in any way and I can absolutely say it is worth finding somewhere to audition one if possible.   On the other hand a good friend has recently changed his system to a pair of Wilson...
