Automatic Turntables

A few Denon modles like the DP59-L have auto start, and auto lift. The only part missing is the return of arm to the armrest.
All the modles with the "L" at the end of the model designation are auti Lift.
Then the top Dual modles, the 5000, 7000 and the Golden One have lift at end of play. The Golden One and 7000 only have auto setdown, you have to move the arm to the start position, then the player automatically lowers the arm after a few seconds. Nice as it allows you to get to your seat before the music starts.(I am certain of this feature on the Golden One, and am assuming it is on the 7000)
I have owned both the Denon DP59L and a Dual Golden One.
Sony, Yamaha, Thorens, Technics Dual all have better quality autoplay models.

All the Denon 'F' series are full auto, repeat included. Look for the 47F model, it is a winner. Very reliable. Currently own two, one as a back up. I have given a few of these to my children hoping to get them interested in vinyl, in a painless way. The 47, paired with a 160 cartridge, or Shure 97 offers a sensible way to enjoy vinyl. Little chance of a damaged stylus. I have an VPI Aries, with a 2K ClearAudio cartridge, SDS etc. and unless you point out the sonic difference to people, most can't tell which is better. Also, if you run across a Sony 800, tangential tracking, jump on it. I have one running with a Grace Ruby. It also is fully auto.

Very reliable. Currently own two, one as a back up.

For some reason this sounds contradictory to me. ;-)

Operanutlgb2,
( you Know who He is!) and sold to me a with a Garbage cartridge: Autofon "Omega"! ( He kept That fact to himself!)

I know who you are talking about. I'm dealing with him right now and i'm very dissapointed.

Look for a Yamaha YP-701.

Terrific arm and very reliable.

IMO
