Most vibrations come from your speakers that will set your floor, furniture and HiFi equipment into motion. The sound radiating from a vibrating wood floor, vibrating windows etc will color the sound significantly.IMO the most important think to look at is to isolate your speakers from the floor using a soft support, especially if there is a wood floor. Spikes and cones will not isolate speakers, rather the reverse, and therefore increase the vibrations coming into the floor.
For other equipment you could use cones or isolation feet, but the impact on sound in my mind (if any) will be small (except for turntables and perhaps tube ampflifers). I don't really hear any difference when my amp is put on spikes or on soft feet. Speakers on the other hand, is a totally different story. But that's just my experience...
