Use of mats for VTA?


What do members think of using different thickness mats as a method of changing VTA? I have been doing this for while by ear, instead of using one of the Rega VTA adjusters for a RB 250 tonearm.I believe there is a loss of arm rigidity adding a VTA adjuster into the chain.

Can you swap mats while the record is playing? Just kidding. Would be sort of like that trick were the tablecloth is very quickly pulled and all the china and things stay on the table... trouble is the spindle, I guess. More seriously, this seems like a simple and ingeneous solution to the VTA issue.
