I'm using a copper mat on my Technics SL1210 with the LP coupled to the mat with a weight. The mat is said to "eliminate platter vibration using a material with a high specific gravity improving tracking and stylus stability and dramatically improving the depth of sound." But also, "The Copper MAT will be more dynamic and in many cases the VTA may be slightly lowered vs. a stock MAT due to the upper and lower frequency range being produced by the density of the Copper."
Perhaps a more compliant mat such as Herbie's would be "better"?
