Clearaudio Concept and Audio Technica AT6006R tonearm lifter???

The Q-Up will definitely not fit.

@markj941 , this is a very common problem. Your best approach is to raise the lift as high as possible so that with the lift cocked it just barely clears the tonearm. This raises the trigger as high as possible making it easy to slide the record in under it. You will notice that records with a tight spindle hole can be tough to get off the table. I suggest a spindle hole drill. 

In my experience, the best lifter out there is the Little Fwend. It is much better made than the others and the lift post cross section is square so the lift does not rotate around. They also make a special base for Technics turntables that fits in tight spaces and allows more adjustment. I use it on my Sota. 

The Tru Lift has a trigger that will not overlie the platter but otherwise is not a good design without modification. The post cross section is round so it can rotate. The lift platform is metal. The tonearm will slide easily on it. What happens is the lift picks up the arm and the antiskating force causes it to slide backwards off the lift. If the turntable is still running the stylus lands back in the groove and the arm then gets trapped against the elevated lift. Yuk!  My own fix for this problem would be to mark where the tonearm contacts the lift and grind a notch at that point the tonearm can land in. Another approach would be to tack a thin strip of 100 grit silicone carbide sandpaper to the underside of the arm with double sided tape creating a high friction contact point. 

Here is the short video showing how I installed it. 

So... any reactions to the solution I shared on the video? Curious if you find this helpful.  😀

Very neat installation.  It looks like it came from the factory that way.  I have the Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm.  The arrangement where the tone arm post meets the plinth is quite different from your Concept.  I haven't seen a lift I think would fit.  If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate  hearing it.  I have an old Q-Up I used on an AR turntable about forty years ago that I might be able to use with a spacer, but it looks so cheesy I don't want to mar the looks of my turntable with it.

@Kingharold I see how the space is more limited with the Tracer (what a beauty btw).  My recommendation is to get the AT-6006R and try it on the tiny space between the black round base and the silver base. Something I did not try because it was not necessary but was in my options plan, was to bend the lift wire trigger to a position where it will be reached by the tonearm out of the way of the platter, it seems to me like that could work.  All other options are either not elegant or have a larger footprint or are too expensive to just try it out. Clearaudio Performance DC with Tracer Tonearm
