Anyone still using CD mats?

I'd like to hear from those who use a mat on a drawer loading CD. After discovering the "clear" improvements using the Ultrabit Platinum-after never having used such CD treatments previously- I thought I should try a mat with my Lexicon RT-20. The question is-which one?

I gave up on cd mats years ago, when they tore up the transports on my McCormack and EAD CDP's. I do use a Walker Talisman de-magnetizer though, and find it helps out quite nicely, w/o putting any extra strain on the transport.

Cheers,
John

Here is an older Audiogon forum discussion about CD Mats that I found:

i have 2 mats-- the carbon fiber mat and the top=of-the line marigo gold mat.

there are times when i prefer one mat over the other, or no mat, depending upon the other components in the system.

Consider Herbie's Black Holes:

An inexpensive CD mat that can be left permanantly attached to the CD if you prefer. They produce a noticeable improvement over a naked CD.

Check the link, above, and the reviews.
