Its great when you find a system tweak that makes really significant gains. Congratulations


I’m a firm believer in isolation of components and control of vibrations and I can imagine turn tables having a lot of opportunities to improve things in that regard (but no real direct experience here as I’m a streaming guy)

If you find £300 expensive but want to try cheaper alternatives you can buy a vibration absorbing material from Japan called fo.q they do a 0.5mm thick pack of 2 sheets about A5 sized for about £35 on ebay UK. You could use it throughout your entire system to very good effect but tone arm , headshell and on the cartridge are supposed to respond very well to it. The headshell is very sensitive and needs fine tuning with amount of material.

They also sell a pack for £150 where you get a 1mm and 2mm turntable mat of the same material and you can stack mats if that works for you and a small amount of 0.5mm tape for the tone arm components, that gets good reviews.
