Best Fully Automatic TT

I am looking for a fully automatic TT to digitize my vinyl collection. My software will stop recording when the needle raises. So I want a TT that will auto-stop and return when the side is finished (so I can tend to my never-ending honey-do and infant without worry of "playing the lable"). Please advise, new or used is ok as long as the sonics are high grade.

Dual 1264 is a pretty good one if you can find it. I bought mine in 1981 in that it was the best I could find and afford back then. It sounds better than ever these days running a vintage Goldring cart into a vintage yamaha natural sound receiver driving more modern monitor speakers and a powered sub.

How about a tonearm lifter?

technics SL-7 or SL-10. David Price at hi-fi world thought the sl-7 sounded better. then go to Raul's mm cartridge thread for p-mount cartridge ideas. The SL-7 goes for very little on ebay and with the right cartridge could be for you. It was seriously expensive when it came out and is audiophile quality. cheers

"Fully Auto"...I remember there was a turntable that actually turned the record over for side 2. Don't remember the manufacturer, but it did exist.

The best?

I think the Pioneer P3 had auto lift, as did many of the Japan market only Kenwoods, like the KP9010.
