Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation


Hello, general question here do you believe the feet being used under a Butcherblock Acoustics platform effects the overall sound? I'm using metal spikes resting on metal decoupling discs that I ordered from Butcherblock instead of the stock rubber feet it came with. I have maple butcherblock under my phono preamp (3 inch), all tube preamp (3inch), and amplifier (1.5 inch). 

Also do you think I could be over isolating with all that? I'm gonna do some experimenting this weekend but just wanted to see if anyone had thoughts or opinions on it. I've read good and bad things about isolation and over doing it. Thanks for any responses!

Under a past amplifier, I used a bamboo cutting board that had a groove around the the edge( to collect juices).  In that groove I glued some fishing, soft rubber worms. Turned it over so the worms were all that touched the counter. I thought it made a noticeable difference.  The amplifier I have now is to heavy for that and I’m going to get some Isoacoustics Indigo isolators.
