Hi Kel,
Coupling your rack (and components) to the floor - which is one of the main SOURCES of unwanted vibration - will allow that destructive energy to have a direct path into the component. This will alter the signal flowing through the component and make it impossible to faithfully reproduce the sound of the original musical instrument as it has been captured in the recording. Using any rigid foot or a slab of rigid materail will couple to the floor which is the opposite of isolation.
I would suggest that you decouple your stand and/or components from the floor-borne vibration as well as providing methods to address air-borne and internally generated vibration.
Best Regards,
