Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables?


I have a Thorens TD-320 that I bought about a year ago to start my re-entry into vinyl world. Couldn't be happier than listening to records again! Now, with spring in the air, I'm starting to think about upgrading the analog end. As a lazy and forgetful guy, I really want to have the auto-lift and/or auto-shutoff functions. Are there any turntables, new or used, with these functions that will out-perform my TD-320? Thanks.

I am using a Thorens TD-520 in my system right now, and it is one of the best sounding TT's I have heard (disclaimer: I have not heard all TT's, but quite a few good ones). I have it set-up with a SME 3012R arm and a Clearaudio Discovery cart. I really like the auto lift and shut-off function, and do not believe it detracts in any way from the performance of the TD-520.

BTW, I have tried to respond to your e-mail, but for some reason, I get a "blocked" message. Don't know why.
