DIY TT platform Marble to Wood Changeover

I have a Basis TT without any suspension. It is wall mounted
using a steel bracket which was originally an amp stand. The shelf is white marble and separated from the rack with rubber strips at the 3 contact points.
The TT is isolated using 3 Clearaudio acrylic cone feet sitting on Vibrapods. This works pretty well but everything I read says marble is a no no for this application. My question is this. Does the marble really play into the sound if it is separated by the Vibrapod/cone feet? I would consider changing the shelf out to a birch board or butcher block. If so do I keep the cones and Vibrapods?

I think you are correct sir. Over-thinking the whole thing.
But this is better than Under-thinking...would't you say?
I was really wanting to use that slab of marble to put on top of my sub but could always use another piece.
I need to update my photos too since everything has been changed.
