which side of feltmat is correct?

You say that each side sounds different. Just use the one that sounds best to you.

I've never noticed a difference between felt sides, much less sound differences...I've sold Rega for over 7 years! Y'all are SILLY!

Hy Naimgaim!
definitly two different looking sides,not so definitly (but maybe?)sound differences.With
linn Lp12 difference is hearable and one side is recommended.But as i understand there is
no official regastatement(if there is one you
would know)No joke :i always trust in you as regaturntable superexpert and cannot wait to
hear your statement about sound of new 5 and 7
on the rega Us forum.

Try licking the platter, all over.

Saliva contains an acid that very slightly smooths the surface of the platter, which obviously improves the sound by ensuring a better bond between it and the mat.

Some say that licking the felt works best, but I disagree. Try it and let us know.
