Tonearm microphonics


When I have the volume at my normal level & tap the arm (not whilst playing vinyl) it is slightly amplified... Is it possible to significantly reduce/eliminate this?

Current set up - Roksan Xerxes 20plus, Origin Live Encounter tonearm (thin cork ring at the base) with Lyra Skala.

Apologies if this is a stupid question!

The Townshend Rock line of tables use a trough which I believe address this and other issues of resonance when playing records - I think professor Dinsdale did a white paper on this issue - a google search ought to help you to locate this.
