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?

Mark,

Steve's rack is assembled and in place. Awesome rack. Highly recommended. Bought 3" top shelf for TT and rest are 2". Can't wait to get my amp back from repair and on stand that I also purchased. Until then, all I can do is look at the system!

The brass coupling discs when used become an extension of the points themselves. The discs seem to increase the surface area and add more than a few degrees of musicality to the whole event. Focus and speed seem to increase with no added sense of brightness. I am a Starsound dealer...Tom

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.
