VPI Classic platter - is center milled?

Is the vpi classic platter milled with a depression in the center? vpi recommends not using a mat, but my platter has a slight rise in the center.

With the provided ring clamp and gasket, vinyl stays 2 mm above platter with a lot of wobble. If I use the rubber mat, it seats the vinyl firmly.

Thanks for input.

Does that mean that the clamp has changed as well?

For years VPI touted the benefits of the 1/4-20 thread on the spindle to mate with the clamping hold down system that they developed.

Summary:

The OP has a platter with a raised center.
Jack Rubison at VPI says it doesn't, then he tells someone else it does, then he tells Brf it doesn't.

Are things OK with VPI these days?
