The Q UP Automatic Tonearm Lifter

Hello music on vinyl lovers. 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 modernized 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 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.

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 36mm if you are using the base unit OR 34mm if you are setting it up without the base unit.
  

The following list of turntables is a rough guide. The Q UP should fit at least one OR all of their models. If you are not sure then please refer to the template for verification.

Thorens	Linn Sondek	Rega	Oracle	Clear Audio	J.A. Michell	Transrotor	A R
EAT	Sota	Music Hall	Kuzma	Kenwood	Systemdeck	Luxman	Empire
VPI	Avid	Artemis	Goldmund	Transporter	SME	EAR	Denon
Pro-Ject	McIntosh	Palmer	Origin Live	Wilson Benesch	JVC	Pioneer	Roksan

 

The Q UP is NOT compatible with DJ style turntables like the Technics 1200, Audio Technica and Stantons. There is no space between the platter and the tonearm to mount the lifter.

Low profile turntables Like REGA and PRO-JECT

The Q UP works well with these turntables as long as you set it up without the base unit. It will require some simple DIY modification in order to be compatible with these turntables if you still want to use the base unit.
