Isolation systems

I have an equipment rack that utilizes a system that has an anti-resonant material on the underside of the shelves. The rods supporting that rack are said to drain vibration from the rack into the rods and into the spiked footers. My question is, with this type of isolation system would Townshend seismic corners be beneficial or would they negate the system built into the rack. I hope this question makes sense. Trying to make improvements that would be improve on what I already have and not hinder.  Thanks for any advice.

As pointed out too many variables to predict.
 

I would not attempt further whole rack isolation but concentrate on individual component isolation. For one thing it will be easier to analyse and compare. You’ve already got a pretty good base. Nobsprings under individual legs would be unstable as an experiment, then a lot of work to upgrade as you point out. But a perfect start to experiment under individual components. I use a Different approach to each component. So, I have a Silent Running custom isolation platform under my turntable and Townsend feet under my DAC and Nobsprings under my streamer.
