The Q UP Automatic Tonearm Lifter
Please read the excellent review by clicking here.
The Q UP is a high precision device that safely lifts your tonearm at the end of the record. The Q UP can be installed in minutes, without tools, and is designed to fit on most manual turntables. Based upon a trigger and lift design, now reborn and modernised to work with either classic or contemporary turntable/tonearm combinations. The Q UP can be configured for a variety of tonearm heights, thicknesses and shapes. The Q UP only interacts with the tonearm at the end of the record and does NOT adversely effect the tonal quality of your system in any way.
No need to worry about falling asleep with your record playing, or forgetting it is playing if you get distracted.
Includes 3 (three) stackable platforms that can further elevate The Q UP for turntables with thick platters.

COMPATIBILITY
There are three simple issues that need to be met for The Q UP to be compatible.
- First: The tonearm must be a pivot type and NOT linear tracking
- Second: You will need 14 mm of space between the tonearm and the platter. Slightly less if you are setting up the lifter without the base unit.
- Third: The minimum height between the base where you will set up The Q UP and the bottom of the tonearm when playing a record is 36 mm if you are using a base unit OR 34 mm if your are setting it up without the base unit.
