So many interesting points.
Question, is it not the job of the cantilever to function as suspension along with transferring the vibrations to the motor of the cartridge?
In which case, shouldnt it be the only thing that is vibrating/moving?
If the cartridge is also suspended, would that not remove the accuracy/immediacy/directness of the transfer of energy - as the place where that energy should go, would be damped. In being damped, seems like the energy transfer would be reduced.
