“If the goal were to keep the cartridge still, then one would never reach the end of the record.
The record groove is not a straight line; it is a spiral with a decreasing radius that requires the cartridge to move to the center of the record as it plays.”

When you ran these same arguments months ago I suggested you drive quickly over speed bumps and see whether you need damping.
Better still: disconnect one end of the rear dampers of your car (not difficult to do) and drive quickly over speed bumps. Tell us whether you need dampers. Remember to fasten your seat belt!
