Upgrade mat or platter on pro-ject debut carbon?


I setup my pro-ject debut carbon today and was impressed with everything except that felt mat and the fact that the adapter for 45s was missing.

The included felt mat generates lint and seems to create a static charge on the vinyl attracting more dust...

What are some good alternatives to this mat? Should I just go ahead and change the platter to an acrylic one that does not need a mat?

Thx

I would try a Herbies Mat. I put one on my old Music Hall and it was transformative. OTOH, it sucked on my Linn. Herbies offers money back, so there's minimal risk. The only thing is - the mat is tacky, so you can't pull the record off while it's spinning, that may or may not be a big deal for you. Good luck.
