RE: As a lefty...

Posted by BigguyinATL on June 16, 2017 at 11:04:12:
Turntables are Lefty limited as it is the right hand that places the needle in the groove, manually or using an actuator. The dominant hand is left for mundane tasks as holding the record cleaner brush and assisting the right hand in lowering or raising the dust cover.

More receiver and amps locate the "volume" and "Tuning" knobs for preferential right hand actuation as well. (though 6 of eight pieces in my rack have the power button on the left...)

No worries though - we lefties tend to be more intelligent (and more likely to be assigned to an Asylum), therefore quite capable of minor or major ambidexteritial tasks.
