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.

Why not just try both options if you are so equipped already and decide?

Either there is a difference you can hear or not to help make the decision. If not, you have two equivalent choices. Just pick one and move on to bigger fish if needed.

Or if all sounds good, just enjoy listening.
