Should I live with an arm cartridge resonance of 7Hz? DL301II/TP16

I Mounted a new Denon DL-301II. Resonance measures 7 Hz with TP16 tonearm on Thorens 125 MkII. It sounds good but is sensitive to foot steps on the wood floor.

The Thorens is on a heavy piece of furniture. I'm not sure if I should keep the cartridge and try to isolate the turntable from the floor vibrations or start over with a different cartridge.

I know now that the compliance of the Denon is too high for my tonearm. Are there other sonic problems inherent with this low of a resonance?
