Putting odd things on top - Acouplex or other means to damp those wells for the levelling spikes?

You may have read Roy Gregory’s report on those Acouplex Refract boards. They sit with some conical feet in the opened wells that contain the levelling spikes.
I went to the Peak Consult Diablo room with exactly that set up.
Herr Heckel, who did the demo, kindly demonstrated the Acouplex board effectiveness.
He just removed it from the M1.1 power amp and put it on again later.
Only one component.
Adding the Acouplex board undeniably improved things.
Space, stage opened up, single tones more intense. These were my impressions with just a few minutes listening.

So my questions are:
Would CH P amps benefit from this approach as well when the CH P spikes aren’t used?
Which CH P components have most benefit from these Acouplex boards, which ones less?
Has someone tried other things to damp or treat those spike containing wells?

Thx for your input!
I do hope to avoid the invest for those Acouplex Refract boards, 1k per board, as I am saving my pennies for a P1.
But having heard what a single board does, this is difficult.
Also I have already put Neodio B2 in the center on top of all my CH P. You can’t do both.

Cheers, Ulrich
