I am not looking for rationalization, actually I trying to understand why and how these things might work so I can make a better choice in trying something in the future. If I try something and it changes the sound, it doesn't mean all things will change the sound, I am not trying to start flame wars. People experience what they experience. I am just trying to figure out more of this audio hobby. Unlike some posters, at least you have some suggestions. Norm

Whenever any sort of 'alternative' ... feet, cables anything not mainstream some are gonna gripe about it. It is just part of the process here.

I've found "harder" materials - brass, other metals, wood, maybe ceramics? (haven't tried any) work towards more satisfying results than "soft" materials such as Sorbothane or various rubber. Then again Herbie's Audio Lab has some materials that are on the soft side that work quite well.
I liked vibrapods a lot until I moved to something harder...
It REALLY depends on your application/goals, as implementation works at "tuning" your system, which is a very personal thing! Ya gotta play with it...

  I'll second looking into Herbie's. In general his stuff is not too expensive and works really well. I cut up Black Holes for tuning materials.
