Turntables with tone arm lift at end of play.

Stop getting drunk and falling asleep while your records play. That's the best end of record lift. 

Thorens TD-1601. 

Only some of the Denon DP series TTs offer any automation. The upper end of the line are purist manual TT s, e.g., DP75, 80, and 100.

Thorens TD-1601

Hello, the Denon series of DP turntables have automatic tonearms. I purchased my DP 51f new in 1980 and while I’ve looked at newer TTs none have motivated me to retire my DP 51f.  Of course they are only available on the vintage market.  Only change to mine was a new rca interconnect that I installed 8 years ago. Spins vinyl perfectly.   Enjoy the music. 

Referred to as a semi automatic turntable. Tone arm lifts at end of play or at the press of a button, parks and turns off automatically.  Fully automatic will play when a button is pressed.

Any turntable with a manual arm  lifter … just add a tonearm lifter.   Products on the market include Audio-Technica AT6006R Safety Raiser, Douk Audio Automatic Tonearm Lifter, Q-Up Tonearm Lifter, and Little Fwend HIGH/LOW.  
 

Any automatic turntable on the market including: Audio Technica AT-LP70X, AT-LP3XBT, AT-LP60X, AT-LP60XBT; Denon DP-300F, DP-29F, DP-450USB;  Project Automat A2, A1 Automat, Debut Carbon EVO; Dual CS 618Q;  Sony PS-LX310BT;  Techniques SL-1500;  Fluance RT81.  I have not used automatic turntable tables since the late 1960’s so I do not know how they sound compared to manual equivalents.  I would go with a good manual table with one of the lifters on the market.  

In the early 70’s, I sold the Empire 698  or 598 (can’t remember which)Troubador turntable.  When we stopped selling them, I could have bought our demo for Pennies on the dollar.   At the time I was a poor college student, paying for my books, car and insurance payment.  I passed on it and have always regretted it.

Empire 698 uses a light sensor to activate the arm lift. I had one. It also came with a low mass arm tube. Empires were the best American belt-drive turntables. They are worth finding and restoring!
