Speakers to stands coupling

Has anyone found that using harder material (metal or wood) disks or cones between speakers and stands instead of Sorbothane pads or similar provides better transfer of vibrations from speakers to stands and results in sonic improvements?
I replaced Sorbothane pads with small wooden disks and was pleased with results, I can feel less vibration in speakers and more in stands, and bass is tighter.
I am thinking of trying aluminum or brass cones, not sure what I can expect and where to find them (do not want to spend a lot on this experiment).

I'd be interested in an answer to this as well. I've recently "upgraded" from old tower floorstanders to some SP Tech Mini's on stands I bought from standman here on Audiogon.

I didn't want to at least initially mar either the bottoms of the speakers or the tops of the stands, so I bought Blu-Tack but have yet to use it for other reasons.
