Jerome...congrats on purchasing the P9 I use the Rega Exact cartridge I'm presently trying to find a replacement mat instead of the supplied wool which can cause a amusing juggling act when stuck to the lp

Thanks ! I ordered it with an Exact too. I love my Elys when I had the P3 so I should like the Exact too. Tell me when you'll find a mat that works well ! Cheers,

I've tried all sorts of mats with my Rega and always found that the felt one sounded the best. Maybe because of where I live, but I've never had any static cling issues at all, so Jerome, you might start with that and see where you end up. Somebody gave me one of those funky mats that is made out of the rubber shelving material, and it left marks on my LPs and my platter.

Dave,
I really don't clean it that often, but when I do I use one of those lint remover brush thingys that has something like red "directional" felt? I just brush it lightly with this. I think you might know what I am talking about. I wouldn't expect the mat to get very dirty because it is kept under the lid when the table is not in use, and when it is in use, it is covered by the record. My Rega Planar 3 is 31 years old and still looks new! Even the smoked plexi cover looks great. One thing about Regas is they are sure durable! We're going a bit off-topic here, but here it is back in 2008, when I got back into audio after being out of it for 20 years; it has a Grado Blue on it as an iterim cartridge (my Grace had been sent in to Peter for retipping). With it's ne plus ultra cool, black, anodized GrooveTracer Reference subplatter (BIG improvement): And with the GrooveTracer acrylic platter... Looks great and is absolutely beautifully made, but the stock glass platter and felt mat sounded better. And to top it off...here it is with my SME V, which I put on while waiting for the Michell ot arrive from the distributor. This arm is overkill on this table, but I couldn't resist, and it does look way cool... Note the Stalking Leopard. No, this is not a new form of Kung Fu from Ip Man; the Stalking Leopard seeks out harmful resonances and kills them dead!
