Meaning, when the record ends and you’re not in the room (or you’ve fallen asleep to the sweet sounds of vinyl), the tonearm will lift on its own. To be honest, this isn’t a very common feature these days, especially in high-end manual tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter the Tru-Lift!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eWhat Problem Does This Solve (AKA - Why We Want One!)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you care about getting the best sound from your records, you probably have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/manual-vs-automatic-turntables\/\"\u003emanual turntable\u003c\/a\u003e. In fact, if we had to guess, we’d say something like 99% of the turntables available over $299 are fully manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a manual turntable, you push a button to start the table, move the tonearm over the lead in the record groove, lower it down (typically with a cueing lever), and enjoy the music. When the record ends, you use the same cueing lever to lift the tonearm back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefit of manual tables is that by having less moving parts, there is less of a chance of noise from these parts dragging under to tonearm and getting to your stylus, which can negatively impact the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe downside is that if you’re not there to lift the tonearm when the record ends, you will hear a “ker-chunk, ker-chunk” sound as your precious stylus sits in the lead out groove, bumping over and over against the last groove in the disk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eWhat’s the Solution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years there have been a few products that have come out that use a trigger mechanism to sense when the arm is at the end of the record lift it automatically. Audio-Technica had one 30+ years ago that worked reasonably well, but could be very temperamental. Others have been so strong that they would sometimes launch your tonearm in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first found out about the Tru-Lift, we have to admit that we were somewhat skeptical. It looked a lot like that super finicky one we remembered from Audio-Technica. However, once we had it in our hands, we could tell this was the real deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eHow Does the Tru-Lift Work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several size options for the Tru-Lift, which we will go over later, but they all share the same lifting mechanism. First, when you hold the Tru-Lift, you can tell this is not a toy, it is very heavy and built with precision. It comes with a bit of this sticky stuff called Blu-Tack. You’ll see a little round rod which runs parallel to the surface of your turntable. This rod is in a cylinder that allows it to move up slowly, just like the cueing lever on your turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou press down on it to put it in the “armed” position and it’s held there by a small piece of wire that then goes up at a 90 degree angle. When this trigger gets moved by about 1\/16”, it unlocks and the lifter rod slowly rises. What we love is the fact that you do not get any false triggers. It only engages when it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou basically position it on the surface of your turntable so that when your tonearm goes into the lead out groove, it hits the trigger and the rod lifts your tonearm up off the record. Simple, but it’s exactly what we’re looking for!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eHow Do I Install a Tru-Lift on My Turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the various sizes come into play. The lifting mechanism is a fixed height, but if you have looked at many turntables you know that the distance between the tonearm and the plinth can vary quite a bit due to the various heights of turntable platters. We can help you determine which model you need for your specific turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome turntables have very tall platters and may require a Tru-Lift with a more robust base to keep it stable. This is what accounts for the jump in price. For most turntables, one of the four standard sizes at $209 will be correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you have the right size you simply find the spot on your turntable plinth (the top of the base) where it will engage the arm at the right spot. This step takes most people 2-5 minutes. Every size Tru-Lift has a pretty decent vertical range adjustment (about ⅜”). Once you have found the right spot, you put some of the Blu-Tack on the bottom, push down to make it all stick, and you’re done!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point all you have to do is press down on the rod mechanism, sit back, and relax! You’ll never have to hear that “ker-chunk” sound again!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are like us and hate getting startled or having to run into the room to stop that awful sound at the end of a record, you’ll love the Tru-Lift. It’s a bit pricey but is built to last. We think it’s a small price to pay to solve a problem that plagues many vinyl lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf this has never been a problem for you and you’re always around to lift the tonearm yourself, just take that $200 and add to your record collection!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Sizes for Popular Turntables:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #1\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eREGA P1 to P6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROJECT CARBON DEBUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLINN SONDEK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMUSIC HALL 7.3 SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHORENS TD 160 SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eORACLE PARIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMT 927\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGOLD NOTE B5.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRINKMANN SPYDER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI AVENGER (LOW VTA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAD (ALL ENTRY MODELS)\u003cbr\u003eVERTERE SG-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHALES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLEARAUDIO CONCEPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLEARAUDIO INNOVATION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROJECT CLASSIC SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI CLIFFWOOD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI PLAYEER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI SCOUT JUNIOR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOFI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI AVENGER (HIGH VTA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI TRAVELER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI TNT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGOLD NOTE GIGLIO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRYSTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASIS SIGNATURE SERIES\u003cbr\u003e*ACOUSTIC SOLID ON ARM POD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #3 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI PRIME SCOUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI SCOUT SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI HRX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKRONOS SPARTA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #4 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI PRIME SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI PRIME SIGNATURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI CLASSIC SERIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPI ARIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eACOUSTIC SOLID (MOST)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Integrityhifi","offers":[{"title":"Model #1: 1-1\/4\" to 1-5\/8\"","offer_id":41287719682132,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT1","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #2: 1-5\/8\" to 2\"","offer_id":41287719714900,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT2","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #3: 2\" to 2-3\/8\"","offer_id":41287719747668,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT3","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #4 XL","offer_id":41287719813204,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT4XL","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #4: 2-3\/8\" to 2-3\/4\"","offer_id":41287719780436,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT4","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #4 + 2 Base","offer_id":41287719944276,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT4-2BASE","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model #4 + 3 Base","offer_id":41287719878740,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT4-3BASE","price":479.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model for Technics 1200","offer_id":41287719845972,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRULIFT-TECHNICS","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Model for Technics SL1000R","offer_id":41733922291796,"sku":"INTHIFI:TRT1000R","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/httpswww.audioadvice.compubmediacatalogproductininthifi-trulift1_1_2.jpg?v=1718137599"},{"product_id":"acoustic-signature-rega-spacer-set-large","title":"Acoustic Signature Rega Spacer Set","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect accessory to adjust the height of Rega tonearms without removing them.

Since then the high-tech know-how of ancient Japan made remarkable advancement in a very short time. In 745 AD the construction of the great Buddha of Nara began. The sculpture is 15.8m (52.2 feet) height and weighs 380 tons. According to the temple record it took 14 months to make the casting mold. To cast the statue several dozen blast furnaces were built around the site. It took 449 tons of copper, 8.5 tons of tin, 2.5 tons of mercury and 440 kg of gold and 2.6 million workers to finish the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe melting point of copper is 1083°C, but the heat generated by charcoal is 800°C.

The head of the newly formed subsidiary had believed that the metal’s purity had an impact on the sound that was transported through the coils of cartridges. Amongst others, Ortofon founded cooperation with Dowa Mining, who was known for making ultra-pure copper (99.999999%), and PCOCC (Pure Crystal Ohno Continuous Casting) copper developed by Dr. Ohno from Chiba Institute of Technology.

Inability to track can be heard as a departure from a pure tone or a sputtering and intermittent tone. To determine if it is one or both channels, the balance control can be utilized. In case of differing tracking ability in the left and right channels it is probably necessary to readjust the anti-skating correction of the tonearm.

In fact, if we had to guess, we’d say something like 99% of the turntables available over $299 are fully manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a manual turntable, you push a button to start the table, move the tonearm over the lead in the record groove, lower it down (typically with a cueing lever), and enjoy the music. When the record ends, you use the same cueing lever to lift the tonearm back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefit of manual tables is that by having less moving parts, there is less of a chance of noise from these parts dragging under to tonearm and getting to your stylus, which can negatively impact the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe downside is that if you’re not there to lift the tonearm when the record ends, you will hear a “ker-chunk, ker-chunk” sound as your precious stylus sits in the lead out groove, bumping over and over against the last groove in the disk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eWhat’s the Solution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years there have been a few products that have come out that use a trigger mechanism to sense when the arm is at the end of the record lift it automatically. Audio-Technica had one 30+ years ago that worked reasonably well, but could be very temperamental. Others have been so strong that they would sometimes launch your tonearm in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first found out about the Tru-Lift, we have to admit that we were somewhat skeptical. It looked a lot like that super finicky one we remembered from Audio-Technica. However, once we had it in our hands, we could tell this was the real deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\n\t\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/header.jpg\" alt=\"Close up shot of the IntergityHifi Tonearm lifter.\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\t\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eHow Does the Tru-Lift Work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several size options for the Tru-Lift, which we will go over later, but they all share the same lifting mechanism. First, when you hold the Tru-Lift, you can tell this is not a toy, it is very heavy and built with precision. It comes with a bit of this sticky stuff called Blu-Tack. You’ll see a little round rod which runs parallel to the surface of your turntable. This rod is in a cylinder that allows it to move up slowly, just like the cueing lever on your turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou press down on it to put it in the “armed” position and it’s held there by a small piece of wire that then goes up at a 90 degree angle. When this trigger gets moved by about 1\/16”, it unlocks and the lifter rod slowly rises. What we love is the fact that you do not get any false triggers. It only engages when it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou basically position it on the surface of your turntable so that when your tonearm goes into the lead out groove, it hits the trigger and the rod lifts your tonearm up off the record. Simple, but it’s exactly what we’re looking for!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eHow Do I Install a Tru-Lift on My Turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the various sizes come into play. The lifting mechanism is a fixed height, but if you have looked at many turntables you know that the distance between the tonearm and the plinth can vary quite a bit due to the various heights of turntable platters. We can help you determine which model you need for your specific turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome turntables have very tall platters and may require a Tru-Lift with a more robust base to keep it stable. This is what accounts for the jump in price. For most turntables, one of the four standard sizes at $209 will be correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you have the right size you simply find the spot on your turntable plinth (the top of the base) where it will engage the arm at the right spot. This step takes most people 2-5 minutes. Every size Tru-Lift has a pretty decent vertical range adjustment (about ⅜”). Once you have found the right spot, you put some of the Blu-Tack on the bottom, push down to make it all stick, and you’re done!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point all you have to do is press down on the rod mechanism, sit back, and relax!

You can upgrade to the balanced experience when the time is right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead\"\u003eBalanced Basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA balanced circuit at the input-end is a key player. A balanced signal accrues noise just like an unbalanced one, however, how it’s handled by the circuit is where the magic happens. A balanced signal includes positive (+) and negative (-) conductors as well as a grounding conductor (per channel). In terms of electrical polarity, the positive (+) and negative (-) signals are inverted copies of one another, that inversion rendering them electrically different as it pertains the balanced circuit. Interference hits the positive (+) and negative (-) conductors identically so noise artifacts are the same in the eyes of said circuit. “Common-Mode Rejection” is implemented by the balanced circuit’s differential amplifier, cancelling (rejecting) what’s identical (the noise!) and leaving the gate open for what’s different (the inverted positive \u0026amp; negative signals). Then only the negative (-) component is inverted to perfectly match the positive (+) one, increasing signal amplitude sans the noise! The topic of course is highly technical and runs much more deeply than our discussion here permits, but what it amounts to for the listener is more music, less noise. With noise eradicated, expect a new degree of depth to the sound stage (allowing more detail to emerge) and wildly heightened dynamics.

You no longer need to spend thousands to achieve the measurable quietude afforded by balanced phono. The phono signal coming from your cartridge is not unlike that of the microphone signal: extremely low-level thus requiring unusually-high amplification, making it more susceptible to interference (even more-so in the modern era with electronics abound and with wireless signals running rampant). Since the recording industry uses balanced XLR connections to protect the microphone signal, so too should we with the similarly delicate phono signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early days of music recording \u0026amp; reproduction, balanced operation was necessary for staving off noise; balanced is how it began. As demand increased for easier, more affordable at-home listening, unbalanced (RCA) connections were developed \u0026amp; implemented for cost-cutting \u0026amp; ease-of-manufacture. For the same reasons, this is the type of connection that was popularized. Few looked back and balanced connection in music reproduction became a thing reserved only for the ‘high-end.’ For Pro-Ject, the question became this: why NOT position customers to hear the difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead\"\u003eWhat Do I Need to Get There?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply put, you need an MC phono cartridge, a balanced turntable output, a balanced cable, and a phono stage with a corresponding balanced input.
