I've been using a modified Expressimo The Lift. Does the job, although it makes a little clunk as it contacts the tonearm. I like that it has no springs, just a weight. As with most others, correct placement is important.
Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions
I must be getting lazy in my old age. I keep wishing someone would raise my tonearm for me. Sometimes you are just involved in something and putting it down to lift the tonearm is a pain. There are several auto lifters on the market. Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they work reliably and are they easy enough to trip that you do not have to worry about you tonearm and cartridge?
