I use a rack I designed and built using maple butcher block shelves. For a while, i used a "prototype" made from an old TV cabinet. the shelves were formica covered particle board say 3/4" thick. moving to 1.5" butcher block and the cork pads made a huge difference. looks better too.

I have some 3 x 3 pads so next experiment is to get the pads out from the footers and underneath the component itself. In most cases the combo of a 2 x 2 and 3 x3 will be taller than the existing footers. Have to be a little careful on some components not to block cooling holes.
Sounds good, John. Do your experiments and report back.
