VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat?


I was contemplating trying a Living Voice Mystic Mat or Millenium mat, as I've read very positive reviews about it for my Super Scoutmaster Ref. rimdrive. I called Music Direct and was told to leave the Classic platter as it is without using a mat, as it is a beautiful platter the way it is. The salesperson also said he did not hear it with a mat, but thought it was great without any mat. Very refreshing to not be told that it would make a positive difference and try to sell you. I appreciate that about Music Direct. Just wondering what others have tried and what your experiences are with different mats. Thanks.

Dover....NO colorations is the real answer. One can search a lifetime for products that have complimentary colorations. Regarding the Classic platter mat....I thought that paper one was just there to protect the thin rubber one in transit.....I tossed it immediately.
I have the Classic platter....tried many mats, but certainly prefer none. (no small round disc over the spindle)
