I have replaced the felt mat on my Linn with one made from suede.
I just went to the local craft shop and bought a piece of suede that was
the same thickness, flexibility, and had the same surface texture as the
original felt.
This had been suggested by a friend, and like him, I prefer the sound of
the suede.
Not only is it more rugged and easily cleanable, it seems to generate
less static and stays put when removing LP's from the platter.
