Sick of static-y Rega felt mat

Hi Dave,

You got me thinking(always a struggle)...
Isn't the answer to almost every query here "it depends on the rest of your equipment"? I'm starting to believe that "audio forum participant" is just sort of a hobby, kind of like "audio enthusiast". Sometimes I think that my "help" just perpetuates the "grass is greener" audio spiral. Not sure if any opinions really help. Just some thoughts...

Pretty astute thoughts :-)

Goto audioasylum.com and make a spotmat. I used one on my P25 and it worked miracles in my analogue setup. The highs were clearer. There was more atomphere, the bass was tighter, and much more detail. All this for $2.

Given I have no armboard for my Rega on my 19 Mk IV (customized plinth), I might use some betwen the VTA adjuster screw, the plinth, and the locking nut on the tonearm pillar. I will also use some to replace that cheap rubber washer they give to keep clamped records from warping.

Just got the Herbies -- seems pretty good. No more static problems, and it looks great. Sound different? Hard to tell if I'm imagining it, but it does seem blacker, more detailed, tighter.
