Hello!
I recently bought Rega Planar 1 EcoDeck and love the sound, it is my first turn table and I'm really enjoying listening to it.
However, I'm not particularly fond of the OEM felt slip-mat, it leaves residue on my records and I have to frequently brush them. So I'd like to try an acrylic mat. Leaning towards Hudson Hifi Acrylic Mat (https://www.amazon.in/Acrylic-Turntable-White-Slipmat-Made/dp/B01MYCIJW4)
The thickness of the stock mat is 2 mm and that of the acrylic mat is 3 mm. Which means the tone arm will sit 1 mm higher than it should. Is that an issue? What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I'm back on this forum after about 3 years. Thanks to HFV, I made an informed decision of choosing components of my stereo system back in 2018. Spent a lot of time on this forum till 2021. Took a little hiatus as I wanted to control my upgraditis. But now I'm back, posting, lurking around as I think I'm satisfied with my system and it offers me all I need to be able to enjoy the music!
