Beautiful racks, N-set! They actually look like grown-up versions of my Target racks. Are you amazed that they yet vibrate when struck? God only knows what it takes to become totally inert, and - of course - eventually - everything moves at some "frequency". Naturally you will tune the TT out of hysteresis territory, one way or the other. Something to be mindful of is if/how any machinery (like air conditioning or elevators, etc.) or adjacent doors closing may affect the shelves and/or the objects on them. A friend in a "loft" (an old warehouse redux) had ridiculous LF/ULF resonances from all manner of sources he never saw coming until they happened. From your earlier descriptions this sounds unlikely in your case. FWIW, I never noticed any audible effects from the "native resonance" of my Target stands. You might find it best to somehow "decouple" the racks from the wood floor if the latter has its own vibratory issues. While wood (like the floor) tends to exhibit a rather broad spectrum, the racks (if they do anything at all) are more likely to amplify a (relatively) narrower band.
