Tonearm isolated from platter in separated tower


I build a wood platform to install the tangent tonearm out of the platter support in a TNT.
I obtained very detailed and increased highs and mid band, but I lost the bass.
Any idea to return to the balance between H-M-L?

Such isolation decouples the two elements and is likely to affect bass response. That (and cost/complexity) is why it is rarely done. You might try mass-loading the tonearm mount to match the resonant properties of the platter support.
