@ Pryso, I understood your post. I was merely offering comments on my personal experiences with tables picking up resonances, both airborne and structural.
The Rega picked up everything and the only thing I ever found that worked was moving it far enough away from the speakers that its arm and cartridge didn't pick up airborne resonances and putting it on a big enough stone to damp out the structural resonances.
The Sota is far less susceptible to picking up resonances of any kind, and all the less so with the fluid-damped Graham arm I installed a couple of years ago. The custom-built entertainment rack I have it in has an additional 1000 pounds of mass (sandstone slab hearth base, concrete faux-rock fascia and Formica over a 3/4 inch thick, 18 ply marine grade plywood substructure).
My hearing isn't what it once was, but I can't detect the rig picking up anything in any frequency range no matter where I have the attenuation set, not even when there is a train going past on the spur line about 1500 yards away from my front door and I'm in a no-signal segment on the vinyl. I can hear the train and feel the vibration through the floor of my home, but none of that makes it to the cartridge as far as I can tell.
My solution isn't for everyone, but it did work for me and ticked a number of my aesthetic boxes as well. Like I said, sooner or later I'll get photos appended to my system and you can check it out.
