The biggest issue I have with the auto return is on Low’s last album the final track is supposed to end in a locked groove but the locked groove is just beyond the auto return so it doesn’t lock unfortunately.

Maybe the locked groove is inside of you

Auto return isn’t a feature on higher end decks because noise. More stuff means more noise and higher end decks are about reducing noise.

I assumed as much, still miss it.

I think that would such an amazing feature but I'm guessing the failure rate is pretty high over time. There are devices like this that will at least lift the arm when it gets to the center label so you don't have to be right on top of it the minute it hits dead wax. There's several others on the market but they are significantly pricier.

Yeah the autolift on the newer technics 1500c supposedly has quite a high failure rate. I’ve been meaning to look into a q up or little fwnd at some point but I’m usually quite good at keeping the music going when I’m in a listening session.

I have a Q Up and no regrets. The only issue I run into is 1 in every 20 or 30 records has an earlier end groove so it doesn’t actually make it to the Q Up. I could probably adjust it but it’s not that big of an issue.

Auto stop is why I went with fluance

Lack of stacking and auto return is why I (still) have an ATLP-120 in a box in my basement. Bought one for my dad who wanted a record player but after realizing things have changed since 1965 he didn’t want one.

It's why I have a Dual 1219 in my main system along with my Clearaudio Concept.

I don't know enough about the technology to really question this, but I've always assumed it's as much an ethic as it is a mechanical issue, kinda like high-end tables not having dust covers as a standard feature.

Hell yes! Can finally get the last two I need to complete. Kikagaku Moyo represses of everything and they say they'll be the last for a while. Preorders on 4/20

One of my favorite VMP special releases they did was the three records for Gurugurubrain. I still own those as well.

Same those releases were great. I need to spin them this week. My music league theme for next week is a non-english language song so one of them will probably be it

Maybe twentytwo is taking a well deserved vacation day from the preorder thread

I think we get most of the same emails. I think it’s just quiet.
