I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats

Turntable mats seem to be an inexpensive way to improve a component, but the thing that gives me pause is that as I understand it, you put them on with adhesive. Is there a possibility that a turntable would be damaged by a turntable mat?

If it's relevant at all, the turntable I'm thinking of using a mat on is a Sota Comet III bought used.

new sota mat has same impedance as the LP….. something Ralph can appreciate from an engineering perspective…

in general all mats / clamps are flavorizers…. approximate the record lathe cutter to disc to platter relationship and neutrality might be achieved…

however that doesn’t happed at lacquer test… Bob L uses a Brinkmann w special glass platter and a unique clamp…

what does R say….music not distortions.. ?
