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?

Thanks. I acquired a number of discs when I purchased a couple sets of Audio Points a few years back. I'll go ahead and use them.

I have threaded bearpaws from Edensound going directly into 3 inch maple platform. Tried a few alternatives but going direct was the best sound. Trial and error will give you the best performance. Get busy and let us know your results.

I too have bearpaws from Edensound - under my VPI. But, not sure I want permanent holes pressed into my nice maple platforms; so, I currently have discs under the bearpaws. But I've not had a chance to see what my new Steve Blinn rack w/3" maple shelves and Edensound bearpaws will do, if anything, to my system's sound because my amp has been away for repair for the last 4 months. When I get the amp back and have music again, I promise to experiment. In the meantime, I'm just picking other brains.
