  • Expressimo. Michael Fremer supposedly likes this one. The lift seems a bit too strong:

    @nkonor, which TT did you install the Tru-lift on?
    How's the back doing?

    lak,

    Installed on my LP12. A little heavy and need to tweak the suspension just a bit. 

    Thanks for thoughts on the back.

    Turns out that surgery went well but the real problem is that at 66 years; I have been diagnosed with M.S.  Have entered the world of neurotherapy.

    The Tru-lift makes it so that I don’t bounce the LP12 suspension and thus tonearm. Very helpful these days.

    Happy Holidays 
    Best to you

    Have used the Tru-lift for a week now. What a joy to get lost in the Music; not having the last cut lurking in your mind, phone, doorbell rings, things on the stove are no longer a concern.

    Will order one for my Kuzma this week. Highly Recommended.
