Damping Rega Table

"If that's your only issue, stop tapping on the plinth..."

:)

My Teres does the same thing if I use it for a percussion instrument. Jimbo3's right, don't worry about it.

Non-suspended TT's play transients and dynamics better than (most) suspended TT's. Their inherent stability holds the tonearm and cartridge directly above the groove without waffling around. Keep the spongy damping materials away. They'll muddy the bass, dull attacks, shorten decays and generally turn your music into muzak.

If you're having a real problem, like airborne vibrations from the speakers, better spikes beneath the TT and a more massive, stable stand would be your best approach.

"I believe that Rega doesn't advise swapping out of the rubber feet."

- Rega also advises against adjusting VTA
- they advise not to upgrade their plastic tonearm stubs
- they advise not to upgrade their poor tonearm wire
- they even advise *not* to clean your records
Call me skeptical but their advice seems a bit weird sometimes.

You haven't said what kind of problem you're trying to address. What is the source of the resonances you're trying to deal with?

If it's footfalls like Ramond had, a wall shelf and/or high mass stand is the answer. If its airborne sonics I'd check with Twl regarding spikes. He just started with Star Sound and they make a variety of highly regarded ones.
