How did you determine this?

If you can hear it with the stethoscope, then it is certainly present at the listening position; whether it's bothersome or not is a completely separate issue, but its presence cannot be argued.

What do you mean by "room borne"?

You are wrong. The excitations from the cartridge are orders of magnitude lower than the ones from structural- and air-borne vibrations.

No.

As I said, unless someone is willing to work out the theory for you, construct the models / run the simulations, and do the experiments, you won't be able to get an informed opinion on these issues from anyone; anecdotal evidence maybe, but, given the degree to which the outcome depends on the details, this sort of opinion is useless anyway.
