Turntable Mat question


I read a turntable Mat comparison which mentioned that although there are many different choices,
some audiophiles will use LP Records as a mat
What is your opinion about this ?

It has been suggested that I post the type turntables that I have..
I have : Technics SL 1600 ...


For Technics platter SAEC SS-300 is absolutely perfect, look at SAEC on SL1200mkII or on SP-10mkII , same about Micro CU-180 on Technics platter. Those mats looks like they are designed for use with Technics DD. 

Saec is cheaper and much more complicated in design, look here

I doubt you can find anything better that those 2 mats. I'm telling you as the user of Technics for more than 23 years. 

No offense meant to the OP...

There are MANY threads dedicated to TT mats/clamps. I'm wondering why we have to keep re-writing our similar responses when, IMO, the people who have interest in this should be investigating for themselves. I mean, come on!...... mats/clamps?......this is fairly easy if one is willing to actually spend their own time and little money on it? In actuality, it may come down to one's own personal listening bias anyway.

There, I said it.
I moved away from a felt mat. Too much static electricity developed and questionable isolation. Now I just use a cork mat with a VPI record weight and Wayne’s outer ring. 
I am using an Oracle record mat and HRS record weight on my Technics SL1200G.  Sounds much better than the stock mat and no weight.  There is more air, an intoxicating sound that makes me want to keep listening and playing more records.  another Audiogoner deserves the credit to what I am now using as he is using it as well and advised me.
