RPM5 a little annoying

[cheyworth]

After a full side of an LP when lifting it off the cork mat comes with it due to static what can I do?

Get anti-static sleeves and an anti-static carbon fibre brush or some double sided sticky tape.

chebby:some double sided sticky tape.
wont that make it even harder to remove the record from the mat?

A ha. A ha ha ha h......ahem.

Does the felt one behave the same way?

Nagaoka inner sleeves help a lot though, as cheb says.

the felt mat did on my debut III.

sorry i couldn't resits the tape comment.

I had problems with the 'skimpy' felt mat you get with the Rega P2. (Not so much with sticking to the record but 'crumpling'.)

I bought loads of anti-stat sleeves anyway and the blue Rega turntable mat (same grade as the P3-24 mat) which is thicker and heavier and...err, bluer

I'm so having one of those blue ones...

They should really post a proper picture, the little paint generated circles don't make me want one at all.

Surely they are not that bright?

Judging by their plinths, I wouldn't bet on it:

 

[chebby]

Oh they do better than that now....

And yes, they are bright! (My mate has the yellow mat and it is 'highlighter pen' yellow.

Love it.

I'll stick with the black standard mat i think, as my P3 will be the high gloss black.

Although a Blue mat would go nicely with the led's on the moon kit.

Hmmmmm

 

[John Duncan]

And the blue LEDs on my phono stage hmmmmmmmmmmm

thats the real reason i went for an all moon set up. it looks lovely.

and blue is so much better than green or red.

Yep a Full Moon is better than a Half Moon.

This just in from the book of impractical suggestions (hi-fi supplement) - nail it in.

OK, a bit excessive, but worth a try surely?!?
