ceramic tip toes


I picked up a pair of Golden Sound ceramic tip toes from my local audio shop. They seem less effective than the original feet on my VPI /MK 19. When I walk on my carpeted floor, I can hear the "bounce". Are these the wrong feet?

sorry, it was a set of 3. Do you know if the original "Tip Toes" are rubber or ceramic?
the ceramic, conical shaped pieces did not come with screw in pieces, just flat ends with a hollowed out recess on the flat end.
I was trying to reduce any vibrations coming through the tonearm, although I really did not notice any until I placed the units, as instructed on the bottom of the plinth. The cabinet is a rather heavy oak piece and the floors are heavily carpeted. As I mentioned before, was trying to improve the bass which seems very anemic. Perhaps I should upgrade the platter first?
Thanks for the reply.
