Oh yes, preamp and amp sound are negatively affected by vibration distortion. That is the reason there are so many expensive rack systems and isolation devices sold. Cap nuts are just very cheap isolation devices, as I stated try and you will be pleasantly surprised with results, cost allmost nothing to try. This is just a cheaper much smaller variation of an upturned cone.

Wouldn't the amp slide off the caps if the rack/table/etc were to shake a little bit?

You have to use your own judgement, as individual set-ups/conditions may vary. Use 3 capnuts and place them 1/2" in from the sides, nudge your unit to see how easily it slides and then make your own judgement. If it slides too easily you may not want to use, depends on weight of unit and surface texture of amp bottom
