I agree with Warren. Coupling is the way to go. Isolation and/or dampening is an outdated strategy that seems to make sense, yet almost never improves sonics but only alters the sonics. In the end isolation and/or dampening is impossible to execute successfully in the audio world.
I also think it's safe to say that one should not assume that all points/cones/spikes are created equal. Star Sound is far and away the leader in this realm of audio coupling.
To use Warren's words, "you'll freak" is a pretty accurate statement with Audio Points under your rack, components, and speakers. Of course his statement should be qualified in that one may not notice any difference putting Audio Points under a $20 am/fm clock radio.
But in every case, Audio Points should be used instead of rubber. With rubber you would be trapping all air-borne vibrations and resonance captured by that component, rack, and speakers with no hope for evacuating and thus potentially reeking sonic havoc at the micro- and macro-dynamic levels.
-IMO
