I've tried Stillpoints under my Gavia as a means of decoupling it from the granite shelf of my TT stand. It helped clear up the HF smear but at a cost of reduced LF impact. This also required adding spacers to the spikes that the motor pod sits on. Now I have the Gavia sitting directly on an aluminum plate about 1/2" thick and the Stillpoints are under the plate. To me this sounds much better, very good in fact, but I don't in any way claim this to be the best way to go.
A graphite mat is not going to get you any where near what the TPI surface does. In fact, I would not recommend any platter mat on a Galibier platter.
I agree with Dmailer, get the Triplanar and upgrade the platter later.
