Question for the turntable wizards

I have a Thorens TD166 MKII. The bottom of the plinth is a piece of wood, I'm guessing maybe 3/16" thick. I've put a set of spikes on the bottom, and then used a turntable level to adjust the spikes. All seems great, and when I place my hand on various parts of the plinth and deck during playback I don't particularly notice any vibration at all. But if I reach my fingers underneath the bottom (since the spikes create a significant gap underneath) I can feel that the wood bottom is resonating. Would I be advised to try to dampen this? I would imagine applying some dynamat would eliminate the resonance. But I'm not sure if the bottom resonating has any impact on sound quality. Thoughts?
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

It's on glass. And the floor is concrete. I wouldn't know if the bottom had any resonance before the spikes because there wasn't clearance to get my hand underneath. I do not think the resonance is being transferred through the spikes, I think it's from the air pressure of the audio playback.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing.
