The Q UP Automatic Tonearm Lift

A handy auto lift up mechanism you can add on without mechanically touching your existing tonearm. Should be useful!

I was looking at that recently, too, despite having a semi-auto TT myself.

There are realities about listening to music. We do fall asleep to the most relaxing stuff, or, at least, want to enjoy our reverie without moving, and yet.... tick... chik... tick... chick... that's our expensive stylus tick-chicking there!

But we also want to listen to individual tracks, or tracks out of order, and doing the business by hand is probably only easy to surgeons. This device deals with the end-of-record tick-chick, but it doesn't help with lifting and dropping the stylus at selected points.

There used to be such devices available for manual turntables, didn't there?

Except when actually lifting or dropping, it wuld not be in touch with the arm at all, so nothing would be affected.

Hi Thad,

If there do exist or did exist devices for cueing at a particular point I'm very curious! Never did hear or come across anything like that.

I personally hand cue and have always done so both for complete sides as well as selective middle of record drops. Feels right and hands on. Never did like the hydraulic lowering levers.
