Once upon a time when I was casting around for damping materials for certain applications I obtained a bunch of EAR blue feet of various sizes, grommets, and damping sheets. While these pretty blue things seems like SUCH a good idea, especially the semi hard EAR feet and grommets I was hoping to use in the construction of a very low resonant frequency isolation stand, I found these EAR thingamabobs reduced dynamics and softened and homogenized the sound. Gave them all to Goodwill. Sometimes trying to cross pollinate industrial products, like Sorbothane, to high end audio just doesn't quite work out. Whether it be thermoplastics, viscoelastic polymers, or other cool-sounding material what frequently occurs is a bad case of "over dumping" as Acoustic Revive is fond of calling it.
