The felt mat i have on my Project Essential turntable seems to attract dog hair in my house. Even with the cover down it seems to always be there!

My wife asked what i wanted for my birthday and for lack of other ideas i suggested an acrylic platter mat. Unfortunately the one i initially picked doesn't seem to fit on my turntable (hole is slightly too small). Rather than drill it out i thought i'd try this one

However it made me wonder if i'd be better just going one further and getting the Pro-ject Acrylic platter for £85. Cost is neither here nor there really, it's about 2 records.

Anyone tried one over the other and can comment?
 
I just assumed I’d have to reset the VTA and weighting to account for the change of height.

Think I will go with the platter. Just keeps things neater.
