ceramic tip toes


I picked up a pair of Golden Sound ceramic tip toes from my local audio shop. They seem less effective than the original feet on my VPI /MK 19. When I walk on my carpeted floor, I can hear the "bounce". Are these the wrong feet?

the ceramic, conical shaped pieces did not come with screw in pieces, just flat ends with a hollowed out recess on the flat end.
I was trying to reduce any vibrations coming through the tonearm, although I really did not notice any until I placed the units, as instructed on the bottom of the plinth. The cabinet is a rather heavy oak piece and the floors are heavily carpeted. As I mentioned before, was trying to improve the bass which seems very anemic. Perhaps I should upgrade the platter first?
Thanks for the reply.
sorry, it was a set of 3. Do you know if the original "Tip Toes" are rubber or ceramic?
