Why does cd mat work?

I recently bought a cd mat which goes on top of the cd when playing. At first I was skeptical about the advertising claim on the packaging that it improves sound. After I tried it out, I was pretty stunned, to say the least, about how much improvement it made to the sound. The cd mat apparently gave the recording a lot more clarity and details. It almost seemed as if I have upgraded my cd player significantly. My cd player is a Krell 250cd. How does the cd mat work? Can someone enlighten me with some knowledge in this area? Thank you.

My Krell 250cd is a front drawer loading player. I use Lexicon MC-1 as the preamp/processor, and B&W Nautilus 801 as my main front speakers.

I am a US expatriate working in Taipei, Taiwan. I got this cd mat at an high-end audio show here last week.

On the packaging of the cd mat, it says Safari CD Mat with a "TM" mark next to Safari for trademark, and U.S.A. on the bottom of the Safari logo.

It is distributed by a company in Hong Kong called Top Music International with www.topmusic.com as its website. I just checked out its website. It has got some interesting audiophile cds, but not the cd mat which I bought shown on the website.

Hope this helps!
