"Automatic lift up when side is over to avoid damaging your $680 cartridge . I sit nervously until the last track then I stand up to catch the arm" Gee, you must not be old enough to have left tt's running for days, nay, weeks by accident.
You won't hurt your cartridge. Stop worrying! If you can't stop worrying then it's your fault not your turntables.
