Nope.....
Doesn't add up. The Goldmund mat was about 3mm and close to the mechanical impedance of the record. Vibrations pass through relatively unimpeded and the aluminum (usually) platter would reflect them back to the record. The mat will only take you so far and is eclipsed by the Goldmund platters methacrylate + lead.
A copper or stainless mat will pass the vibrations through to the platter with less resistance, but is dissimilar from the record and is less efficient draining vibrations in the first place.
That is why lead is the material of choice under a mat that tries to match the record. Lead is much more efficient at slowing vibrations and less are reflected back. Given the thickness limitations of a mat it's somewhat of a turkey shoot.
