    I just found out about these things in general. In fact, I’ve been putting off upgrading to a better table due to the lack of semi automation

      I felt the same as you Greg, but semi-automatic is a feature that is very difficult to find when you are looking into a turntable upgrade. I am very happy with the performance the TRU-LIFT.

    Maybe add a flashing lights warning at the beginning of your video, for epileptics?

    If you forget to set it, will the tone arm hit it while its playing?

    • @StevesStrayStuff
      @StevesStrayStuff  3 роки тому

      Hi Andy, yes, if you forget to set it, the tonearm will hit it. Because it sits so close to the tonearm cue lever, you will always be reminded to set it.

    Premium design. Damn, this hobby has gotten expensive. Maybe Santa will get me one of these.

      I love my tonearm lifter, but you are correct, this music hobby gets expensive. A few years ago I had to upgrade my entire audio/video system because of the changes in technology. I had so many HDMI to component/RCA converters hanging off the back of my audio gear, because my thirty year old A/V system did not support HDMI, wireless and Bluetooth. I hope you are not on the 'naughty list' and Santa does you right this year!

    What is the minimal height of this? From the turntable plinth to the top of lifter arm, with the lifter adjusted as low as it will go.

      Wow, I just check in the US and the same one is $295. Is there a fee added to ship to Australia or is shipping another charge?

      I though it to be expensive myself too Mike, but once I actually had it in my hands and watched it operate, the hydraulics they use makes it a very precision and gentle device.

      They definitely are not cheap Yaheya. I have fallen asleep for hours with an album playing, but I always had the tonearm lift up and return by itself. If I fall asleep now, eight hours of riding in the runout groove cannot be good my stylus 😞

      @@iaincowell9747 I do have to agree with you! Aerosmith was my favorite band growing up, I have seen them five times. The last two times was for Get A Grip and Nine Lives. I did not like anything after Nine Live either. If I could only own one Aerosmith album, it would have to be Rocks. Rocks does just that, it rocks.

      He has a really nice turntable....MOST turntables over $300 are manual tables....I still wish more turntables would at least lift and return the tonearm aka semi-automatic turntable. Nice armlift product there albeit a tad pricey....happy listening!
