RE: Out board Vibration Effecting Phono Cartridge

A good general practice is to map out the nodes in your room, this is where bass is additive or subtractive. Then you try to place your turntable in an area where the node is subtractive (or tune your system such that a subtractive nose lands near your turntable). By all means validate that your turntable isn't sitting in an additive node. At that point you don't have enough musical energy present to affect the cartridge.

How to measure your room? I have a rig from XTZ (mic and software) that makes this very easy. However I suspect you could do the same with a test album and a smart phone - someone who has done this may chime in.

If you've never even thought of attempting this then shame on you for not working on your listening area, it is the second biggest game changer for the sound that reaches your ears (your speakers being the first biggest influence on what reaches your ears).

Sharing my experience and findings, not trying to tell people how to enjoy their audio (a.k.a. no grenades please).
