component cones/spikes vs. rubber


I'm trying to decide whether I should put cones/spikes or Vibrapads/pods underneath my woodshelving which is directly underneath my components?

(Note: I currently have wood shelves underneath my components so the spikes/pads will be placed in a platform config. All of the above will be sitting on an audio rack)

Components:
1. Cary CD player
2. Audible Illusions 3A pre-amp
3. BAT 75SE tube amp

Appreciate any comments/thoughts?

Thanks,
broken

"DING" the winner is, Mechans, If you use Spikes, or better, pointed brass Footers, you will have a path for vibrations to leave the componant.
If you use soft rubber pucks, or similar, no vibrations will get into your componant, BUT the one`s you have will never get out, either.
