The Garrard Zero 100 did have a VTA adjustment for playing multiple records, and many tables had an auto lift. Your stylus will not be damaged running in to the center of the record at the end of play. Relax a bit. Yes single sided play is a chore. (A Benjamin Miracord model, I forget which one, actually lifted the record, flipped it over, and played the other side!) Happy Listening,
What would happen if we had convenient turntables
I was just writing a response to a thread about what CD player I should buy if I like raZZberry cables with a Ginormancy reference statement premeir platinum signature solid state amp.... etc. Sound speaker Mind monitors.
I thought I really like my analog rig. It is certainly not over the top just a Scout standard issue JMW 9 Dynevector 20X HO and a Graham Amp 2 SE, I also can use an ARC pre amongst others.
20 years ago I would have said my record player is a Yamaha YSP 211 LMNOP.
The reason I am not entirely all vinyl is that no audiophile TTs have a few functions that give me the comfort I seek. Mind you I have a non remote preamp
1.Automatic lift up when side is over to avoid damaging your $680 cartridge . I sit nervously until the last track then I stand up to catch the arm.
2.No repeat button. I like hearing a 20 minute side more than once.
3. No way of playing more than 20 minutes at a shot.
Why can't someone build a great table that would accomodate a nervous and lazy vinyl lover.
Remember spindles that stacked the records. Now Oh My Goodness the VTA will need adjustment.My scout and MMF 5 do not have VTA adjustment
What happened to Turntables that they won't sound very good unless they are bereft of ease of play.Or really more like what would happen to the sound of my TT if it was not a mild to moderate pain to use.
