Clearaudio Concept and Audio Technica AT6006R tonearm lifter???


I have good and bad news.
Just took delivery of my new Audio Technica AT6006R arm lifter. Took maybe 45 minutes to install, quite a bit of adjustment to get it right. The good news, it works great, looks great and built quality is impressive. 
Now the bad news. The Concept table offers little space between the platter and bottom plate of the tonearm assembly, it fits but it puts the 6006R trigger antenna over the record by about 1/4". So getting the record off the
platter requires some finagling and so far considerable patience.
Will I keep the 6006R lifter? Probably with reservation, I need something to lift the tonearm. 
So, Concept owners thinking about a tonearm liter, you've been warned. Not sure any of the more expensive lifters will do any better.
If you have come up with a better solution, please respond.

My JVC Spinner, TT81 (many others) is 1-1/2" above the plinth, so the lifter needs to be raised up via it’s extra height blocks, each level in the stack separate self stick adhesive.

Also tonearm post needs to be long enough, I had to add a 3/8" spacer below my arm, OEM made it for me.

Good luck with the Q UP, I tried it, couldn’t get it proper height. And it’s flexible plastic sides spread too easily, bar would not stay in the notch where I put it, I sent it back,

The Audio Technica, except for price

 is very nice, much more substantial. Because I have a long 12.5" arm, and it’s small base, it was easy to locate, stable stacked base, works great and not extended over the LP.

There is no space for a riser between my 9" arm’s base and JVC TT edge which extends beyond the platter diameter.
