Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd would sound beautiful on any turntable, I suspect.
Uber, if that TT81 includes a 7082 tonearm, I'd say you'd really like it more than your QL-A7. As to the early lift-off problem, I suggest you go on the internet, Vinyl Engine first of all, and search for an owners manual (if one did not come with your unit) and a service manual. That's where you have to start. In my experience, there is no harm done to either the cartridge or the LP, if the stylus sits in the run-out grooves even for a minute or two until you can get off the listening seat and manually lift the tonearm. Thus, automatic lift-off holds no particular appeal for me.
