VPI Classic 1 use of the cork mat

I am trying the cork mat and I am not using the small plastic inner ring that is used when not using the mat. Is this correct? Also I have a Herbie mat that I haven't tried, has anybody given it try? What were your impressions

I use Bearpaws (Vermontaudio.com). Boy what an ear opening that was when I substituted these Bearpaws...everything is better, bass, mids, highs..soundstage,...everything.

The hardest thing about it is actually buying lighter fluid. Few people smoke now.
