Thanks for the tips... I’m an old fart also. My TT is at ~42”... but I could add one more shelf and lift more. So I’m not the only one that doesn’t like bending over.
A note: With contemporary equipment streaming can be as satisfying as vinyl at most levels. A bit more investment is needed than for the analog side. But the rewards are huge... library goes from the thousand or so to nearly infinite for the monthly cost of one album... and No getting up at all... I still bicycle every day, so I get my exercise in other ways.
For any older guys that have the means... I highly recommend an upgrade to your digital end to get it in line with your analog... your ears and achy bodies will increasingly appreciate it. Then the big problem becomes finding the album you liked so much who’s title you can’t remember and unknown group name... darn, now where did I leave my Prevagine?
Alternatively, get an old record changer so you can just stack four or five records and listen. (-:
