Use of footers on maple platforms

I know this has been discussed elsewhere, therefore I will try to be specific with my question.

A Maple shelf is thought to dissipate vibration from component resting on it. Would not isolation feet/dampeners inhibit this? Does the replacement of the original feet on a component with cones benefit the dissipation from the component?

I have just replaced the plywood selves of my rack with 2" maple ones. Was using vibrapod footers with the plywood shelves. Currently not with the maple.

i a-b'd Herbie's tender feet on my Blinn extra-wide rack and couldn't tell any difference. the Blinn has 2" maple slabs plus a suspension system.

only tested/a-b'd my front end (PSA PWT/PWD). also had them under my pre and amp....but decided not to spend anymore time on it. let them stay under the pre/amp but put the oem feet back on my PWT/PWD.

never tried cones or anything else.
