The brass shim may be acting as a resonator, and it's likely changing the coupling/decoupling dynamic of the ebony coupling discs and Herbie's decoupling sheet, which is perfectly fine since this is the nature of a customized system tuning effort. Changing the resonant nature of various audio components with designs/materials implemented as a vibration control device is what it's all about. The vital thing is identifying various audiophile listening cues, and seeking your own aesthetic presentation as the goal. IME, the ideal goal is a coherent presentation of both listening cues based on aural information (such as resolution), and physical sensation (such as PRAT).
