Even though I am a fan of brass support BearPaws from edenSound and of Mapleshade's brass footers on their air dried maple board supported by isoblocks, any brass weight on top of amp or preamp leaves me cold.
The delicate harmonics are diminished leaving a more dynamic or forceful sound which is too stripped of shadings of sound character. Big and bold yet lacking subtlety.
Although this seems to be a minority opinion, keep in mind that the adding of damping weight should be tried with a return policy, just in case it is not preferred by you.
