I am not as quick and agile as I once was ! Soooo , I would like to find an audiophile grade tt with the automatic return arm . I do not want to delve into the vintage realm . Is something like this currently manufactured ?
Denon made a pretty good auto arm on a direct drive TT... and I saw some for sale recently. Any direct drive table needs to go on a good isolating platform
The later automatic turntables did not effect SQ in any way. The motor started the movement of the tonearm and then disengaged until a photocell was activated for it to turn on and move the arm back to the starting position. At some point it was deemed "not hi-fi" and was dropped, saving manufacturers money.
I am currently using a Yamaha PX-2 Turntable at home. It is automatic and that way, some of my family members feel comfortable playing records. It also is an excellent performer with linear tracking. I am using a Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge in it. Sounds great! Disclaimer - I am a VPI dealer.
