Increase VTF to help with skipping?

I have a Dynavector 10x5 installed on a Clearaudio Concept with the stock magnetic bearing tonearm.  I've recently moved and immediately noticed a lot more vibration from footfalls and my subwoofer.  My cart has a suggested VTF of 1.8-2.2g.  Would setting it to 2.2 or even 2.5g help with the issue?

Thanks

Your issue is component vibration isolation, not cartridge VTF.  Try some sort of vibration control on the turntable first.

If your table is vibrating so much its skipping the solution is NOT more VTF. The vibrations will still make it skip, only now it will hit back down with even more force. Which will still be happening even if it does somehow eliminate the skipping. 

Instead what you should do is investigate what exactly is causing the instability in the first place. Is the floor shoddy? The rack? The wall?
