I would be way too afraid of the platter accidently moving backward, even a mm or so, ruining the whole delicate cantilever assembly in a 1k+ moving coil rig. why take that chance? also diamond is not rubber..doubt you will leave diamond dust skid marks in your record grooves.
Cueing it up...
Since analog is an analogy, I've developed a mental picture when cueing up on a rotating record. And that is the film we've seen of airliners landing, and those bazillion-ply tires instantly accelerating from zero to 200 mph, and, I've heard, leaving something like 20+ pounds of rubber on the runway in a cloud of smoke.
My gut tells me that rotating cue-up isn't so cool, enforced by how noisy most lead-in grooves are, and a lot of spacing grooves between tracks.
What do you do - rotating or standstill - and is this overly anal(og)?
