Oh yeah, I would pick the Blue Color also. I agree with you and Bill, it may be the definition of gadget.

Here's the manual, I'm gonna read it later

No arm lift? That's worse than no dust cover.

@elliottbnewcombjr  The arm on the right is the 12" version of the Audiomods Series 6 Evolution, and the arm in the back is a 10.5" version of the same arm. 

 

It is my opinion that if you buy a new arm today, those Series 6 arms are the best value out there. Many well thought design choices there, and quality parts that are not found in tonearms that cost below $2K. 

Arm lift at headshell. There’s nothing worse than a dust cover like the one on that MS DD during play.

Ok I'll light the fuse again just for fun.  There is nothing worse than using a dust cover, any dust cover, on any turntable during play.  People shouldn't be playing records during sand storms any way.  Half the time I don't even replace the dust covers on mine when they're not in use.  My bad.  Maybe I should start a new thread entitled "There's Nothing Worse Than Dust Covers!" just to start a war.
