Best Tonearm Lifter?

brf,

Just received the Tru-lift that I ordered Friday afternoon.

Merry Christmas 

Great info. The safety razor was recommended for my LP12 . Need to find one for my Kuzma TT.

Tru-lift took 10 minutes to install, 30 sec to tweek. Works perfectly.

lak,

Installed on my LP12. A little heavy and need to tweak the suspension just a bit. 

Thanks for thoughts on the back.

Turns out that surgery went well but the real problem is that at 66 years; I have been diagnosed with M.S.  Have entered the world of neurotherapy.

The Tru-lift makes it so that I don’t bounce the LP12 suspension and thus tonearm. Very helpful these days.

Happy Holidays 
Best to you

Have used the Tru-lift for a week now. What a joy to get lost in the Music; not having the last cut lurking in your mind, phone, doorbell rings, things on the stove are no longer a concern.

Will order one for my Kuzma this week. Highly Recommended.

Adding a Tru-lift to both of my TTs has made listening to vinyl a joy. Also have to give credit to the remote with my Pass XP20.
 
The Tru-lift takes 10 minutes to install and tweak with a a small piece of blutack.

Keeping the final cut in mind is no longer a concern. A trip to the bathroom, attending to something on the stove, a phone call or someone at the door with a delivery. The Tru-lift picks up the arm flawlessly.

No effect on SQ. No rush to pick up the arm. A little spendy, but does the job. Fast delivery and no problems with fees through customs. Top Shelf product.

I used a Tru-lift on my LP12, worked for awhile, but tweaked the suspension and only worked if I kept adjusting it. Became a PITA. Then I got a Kuzma Stabi S, finally, with the aid of a VPI magic brick, I was able to get it mounted to the height needed and solidly. Still, I could not keep the trigger adjusted properly. Another PITA. So, I got a Little Frwd lifter. The magnet in the bottom was not strong enough to keep it positioned correctly. Argh !!  

I went to my local ACE hrdw and found a small pkg of 8 round magnets the perfect size of the base, and with a small sliver of 3M foil tape, to keep it from sliding off of the magnet. The Little Frwd works perfectly and stays in the proper position.

The Little Frwd's trigger is pre-set, the shaft is milled to a finer fitting tolerance. Very easy to adjust, even to my tapered Kuzma arm.

Glad that I stayed after getting a tonearm lifter. Now, that I have the Little Frwd positioned and working perfectly, I can start my 45 rpm project. That is; I have 52- 45 rpm albums that are great, but never played. Every 2, sometimes 3 songs, you need to get up and flip the record over. Hardly seems worth it.

My project, is to record the albums to DAT tapes. I am not sure why DAT didn't catch on, but for my purpose now, It is perfect. Recorded to DAT tapes. You can change to the song that you want to listen to quickly. There is no tape hiss, even without dolby b. Dare I say it, we know it is supposed to be impossible, but vinyl recorded to DAT tape, sounds better than the vinyl. As I get more through this project, I will probably have more to say about SQ. We will just have to wait and see.

Anybody that can add information or comments on this, is welcome to do so
