I never have done this, but I can certainly understand how it could happen. I grew up with a TT and trained myself long ago not to let the needle ride the lead out groove to the bitter end. Even if I nod off during a LP side I am awakened as soon as the music stops at the end. I also never leave the TT cover on while I spin and never finish a session without putting the cover back on, turning off my phono stage and hitting the standby button on my pre. This has become my ritual and the reverse of this procedure is how I start a listening session.
Buscis2, how does your lift sound when it makes contact with the tonearm? I have never used one but I have thought about adding one as insurance. I have heard from some users that there can be a loud thump when the lift comes up and makes contact with the arm.
