    I believe the current thinking is just the opposite.  From what I've read, the aim IS to decouple the piano from the floor so as not to drain the sound away from the piano.  Isolating the instrument is thought to increase the sound quality coming from the piano especially on carpeted surfaces-another reason (among the obvious) for using caster cups.
