The nature of the cue on my Vpi is such that I just move the arm of the cue slightly to start the decent and the arm lowers on its own in about 3 seconds. I also have a VPI that this cue is worn out and has no dampning on it's downward decent and I have to manually lower the arm with the cue, I actually like it better.
I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm
I love spinning records, but I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm until I return to my easy chair about 8 feet away from the turntable. I always miss the the full effect first couple of bars of my favorite music. Do any of you see this as an issue? Can any of you suggest an answer? Maybe one of those remote control small motors that you can get at a hobby shop coupled with a rig that would lower the lever on the VPI Classic or similar TT? Thanks.
