Using protective discs under brass footers

I'll soon be taking delivery of a new rack and half of me wants to protect the beautiful maple shelves by using brass discs under the brass footers and half of me wants to put the footers directly onto the maple shelves even though they'll indent the wood. Anyone done an A/B to see if there's an audible difference?

I had a set of brass saucers stashed away, so I dug them out.

I replaced some cheaper, gold-plated saucers I'd been using under the points for my preamp just a few minutes after reading Stanwal's post.

Same track, same volume level, sound is more focused and smoother, no kidding, I must be nuts!
