LOL, I'd say Knownothing knows quite a lot. ;-)
Stereo5,
I'm happy you're happy but the problem is not "solved". It's papered over. You can't eliminate mechanical behaviors in a source component with a downstream electrical filter. That's nonsensical. A genuine solution requires investigating the root cause and addressing it directly.
Your cartridge is still vibrating at the same low frequency. You've attenuated the resulting signal before it reaches your amp and woofers but it's still muddying the signal path from cartridge to preamp (not to mention shortening the lifespan of your cartridge). We never hear such mud until we eliminate it, at which point we're inevitably astonished at how much more music there is. That would indeed be Audiophile Heaven.
The most likely cause of this problem is the demonstrable mismatch of a Denon 103 on a JMW 9, with ineffective TT isolation being the next most likely. Several knowledgeable posters tried to suggest this. There's more vinyl expertise here than at fifty Goodwin's and that's presumably why you asked. Why request expert guidance if you're determined to ignore it?
Your a priori refusal to investigate the real problem or consider real solutions dissuaded me from answering. I commend those who tried, but why bother? I'm only posting now to warn others who stumble across this thread and mistakenly believe you've found the optimal solution. You haven't.
