VPI Classic platter - is center milled?

Is the vpi classic platter milled with a depression in the center? vpi recommends not using a mat, but my platter has a slight rise in the center.

With the provided ring clamp and gasket, vinyl stays 2 mm above platter with a lot of wobble. If I use the rubber mat, it seats the vinyl firmly.

Thanks for input.

Why did VPI build Classic turntables with the wrong platter. This is madness and shows a complete lack of QC.

Raised centre vs normal recess is a BIG deal as it affects the way the vinyl sits interfaces with the platter. I have never seen any turntable from any other manufacturer that has raised centre.

abp689, you need to immediately ask for a replacement correctly spec's platter.

Hmmmm

What platter does the Traveller have?

I saw one at a dealer last week and the inner label recession was raised.
