Quality fully automatic turntable with a removable headshell. Does this exist?

Unless I ban my kids from touching the stereo, which I don't want to do, I think I need an automatic TT.  Is there a hifi grade TT out there that is fully automatic AND has a tone arm with an interchangeable headshell?  I want to be able to switch easily between a mono and a stereo cartridge.

I would rather check for a vintage turntable with these features.

If you are looking for a stacker you will have to find an old Dual in decent shape. No removable head shell though. I do not recall any fully automatic table with a removable head shell. Frankly, I would use my technique. There is only one person who can go within three feet of my turntable, me. Everyone else is limited to digital.

Technics 1500C turntable.  Auto lift at the end of record, priced under 1500 bucks. Brand new model gotten good reviews.

No unless you customize one. That’s like asking for a Model A with a paddle shifter.


That 1500C is as close as your going to get to auto with a detachable headshell. Teach them to use the cue lift or stay away.
