Feet/ footers: Cones, pads, rubber gizmos, fancy gizmos, roller gizmos

Aside from the shelving stuff, what do you add under your equipment feet?  
Nothing?  
Hard cones.. metal. wood.. with under disc, right into shelf?  
Soft footers. pads, half domes.. sorbothane...    ?  
fancy aftermarket footers?   Brass...    ? 
Roller devices?  
Added butcher block rests...  thck thin, IKEA... ?Other?   
I have used all sorts of stuff under my equipment. My favorite go to are size ten butyl rubber bottle stoppers, then under really heavy stuff, old Tip Toes, and under some things sorbothane half domes. But no expensive doodads.   
I have recently tried some home made rollers, no improvement to negative results. 
Mostly I like some vibration dampening.. hard connections seem to go negative on quality of the sound   
So I am just thinking about feet. footers. What are your experiences with them?

Hi,

nothing under equipment, i have discovered this after purchasing Bassocontinuo Reference line rack. Any really good rack will justify this. Speakers are different and need decoupling, where any material with elasticity absorbs too much from enjoyment, and hard material as spikes (better metal better results) gives speed and tighten things up. The best i have used by far, under equipment, are Acoustic system footers (equipment foot topline and classic), with amazing results and Herbie's Iso-cup with good results (a very affordable option).
