I’ve been using my Prime 21 as recommended with the bare platter and no slipmat. It does sound much better to my ear than with the felt mat that I only use as a dust cover. That said, I’m finding the bare platter is easily scratched and also something of a static and dust magnet. Any advice on the sonic- and anti-static performance of alternative Prime-compatible non-felt slipmats that also work well with the rubber washer & record clamp? A perennial debate, but would appreciate any feedback on new or best products.
